...music, like electronica and rap.Although the organization’s name may be grandiose, its goals are comparatively grounded. “Right now, the campus lacks adequate practice space and equipment for beginning bands,” says Hufstedler, describing their primary focus. Their answer to this dilemma is communication. According to Hufstedler, “there are plenty of musicians, but no network to connect them.” Drake maintains that Harvard has no cohesive scene, but only “a bunch of Facebook groups, very fragmented.”Hufstedler envisions CARAR, which is currently...
With the ever-looming dilemma of “life after Harvard” at the forefront of many of our minds right now, I would like to draw attention to a profession that rarely gets the consideration it deserves.

But the Sunni dilemma reveals deep anxieties that cannot be resolved simply by holding elections. Whether or not Sunnis come out to vote in large numbers in Saturday's referendum, the underlying tensions that have pulled Iraq to the brink of civil war aren't likely to disappear. Few Sunnis have faith...
