...We’re going to fund the shuttles this year and have vigorous negotiations with the President’s office to follow.” When reached last night, University spokesman John Longbrake said he could not confirm the change in funding. Harvard Fun Czar John T. Drake ’06, whose Office of Student Activities is planning Harvard-Yale festivities, said he agreed that the UC should pay for the increased shuttle services because of the high costs of The Game. “With the tailgate and the pep rally and these Friday night parties...
...Should we all have just gone to Yale?”—exploring the just-suck-it-up social sensibility of Harvard students. Showing some gusto, the administration responded to students’ laments, ratcheting up party funds and appointing the Fun Czar. And then Harvard (or, more accurately, Harvard’s administration bowing to the wishes of the overly outraged Boston Police Department) ruined the only party of the year. The only one.

But that depends entirely on the continued flow of cash. For example, the wages of a dean of advising, a fun czar, and 180 peer advisors are not trivial costs, but they must not be cut.

...would like to begin this column by commending Fun Czar John T. Drake ’06 for pulling off a memorable fall event this past Sunday: Oktoberfest. The food was great, D.A. rode the ferris wheel until he got sick, and our favorite Peruvian wind ensemble performed. Yet despite these successes, the event fell short in two critical respects. First off, the food stands were needlessly charging students for their assorted sundries. This gouging was an unqualified outrage, given all of the University Hall funds that must have gone into the event; we wonder if Drake might not benefit...
