...Harvard’s most anticipated traditions has been overcast by the cloud of bureaucracy that continually chokes Harvard social life: namely, the lack of communication and collaboration among House staff, the Student Life and Activities Office (SLAO), and students.

While my classmates will follow the events of the convention through the eyes of TV anchors, journalists, and bloggers, I will create my own personal coverage, through the sights, sounds, and tastes of the convention. (Unlike the Democrats, we will allow fried food.) I will...
