...Crimson belittled groups that are fighting for the preservation of scarce study space. The editorial staff wrote that the issue should be ignored because the Committee on Undergraduate Education is looking into expanding undergraduate study space anyway. If Crimson editors had done some research, they would have know that CUE is looking into the issue as a direct result of the very "whining" that The Crimson denounced...
