While Adams House dining hall buzzed with dateless undergraduates on Valentine’s Day, the private dining hall was more likely to feature the buzzing of vibrators. Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) hosted a discussion yesterday about the complexities of feminist relationships. The group set up two divergent camps, with one side advocating an acceptance of chivalry and the other calling for the end of female submission by criticizing penetrative sex. Such stimulating topics attracted an eclectic group of over a dozen students of different genders, races, and sexual orientations. While some found the feminist relationship—whereby...

Gone With the Wind, depicting a Southern belle's struggles and whims, was Hollywood's top grosser for 26 years--until another women's film, The Sound of Music, matched it. Even the current "all time" champ, Titanic, is at heart a shipboard love story. Yet Hollywood is reluctant...
...very own Hootenanny, the clothing store with a disturbingly Shuttlegirl-esque mascot. The shop resides in the space our beloved Video Pro once occupied, leaving students to trudge to Porter Square if they want to catch a rental flick. At least Harvard students, unable to continue their tradition of dateless evenings with the wholesome Forrest Gump and Casablanca, will be able to buy as many tight skirts and cleavage-baring tops as they desire in a store right above Ben & Jerry’s. Yes, Harvard Square has hit the mainstream...
