...This year, only six students in the Class of 2009 elected to receive the so-called “Shabbat key” from Hillel. They are observant Jews who cannot use electricity on the Sabbath, so they have to use a mechanical key to get into their dorms. Out of the seventeen freshmen dorms, only Hurlbut, Thayer, Massachusetts Hall, and Claverly have mechanical key access. The rest require swipe cards. But not all Shabbat keys are created equal. Austin M. Litoff ’09, a self-described orthodox Jew living in Thayer, faced a dilemma involving his Shabbat...

Probably not, but Wisse believes that these characteristics of the “new generation” of Harvard students prompted the student body to reject the Faculty’s recent coup and support University President Lawrence H.

The recent bill passed by the Undergraduate Council (UC) offering support for the distribution of condoms in every freshman dorm only adds to the notion that at college, sex is just another extracurricular activity. Soon, when freshmen go down to the basement to do their laundry, they will be able to pick up a couple condoms along the way because hey, it’s college, baby; they?...
