...takes a lot to get a Harvard student’s attention. From annoying Undergraduate Council hopefuls to cookie-laden tablers in the dining halls to the psych students willing to dish out $15 an hour for undergraduate subjects, those who want a little bit of our time have to resort to outright bribery.
