Hoards of Brita-bearing freshmen arrive at the Yard each fall prepared for the worst. With Harvard Student Agencies offering water coolers for your dorm room at $119 a pop, it’s easy for neurotic Type-A’s to worry that their water will be lead-filled and grosser-tasting than Gordon’s vodka mixed with warm OJ. “It tastes grosser than my water at home,” says Colleen L. Lenahan ’10 of the Yard’s H2O. “I drink bottled water...
...Quad while digesting delicious clown cake, maybe pondering on their way whether FM’s writing about itself qualifies as conflict-of-interest. Outside the LSluts Party in Pfoho (A+ for cleverness), one freshman girl innocently inquired “Where is Belltower? Is that a dorm?” Hasty Pudding Theatricals celebrated the birthdays of Josh M. Brener ’07 and Ben K. Kawaller ’07 in style in the Gilbert Living Room, complete with two Beirut tables, one ice luge, and zero boys in drag. The AD’s cowboy party...

The Crimson viewed the Student Council as a bunch of “talkative politicians” with “little discernible reason...
There was little political interest, at least among my friends and dorm-mates. Fidel Castro, then the new Cuban leader, spoke at Harvard, and there were anti-nuclear sing-ins at a local coffee shop, but when the fire marshals shut down the shop hours before one event, few noticed. Woolworth’s in the Square drew occasional picketing and sit-ins, but few of us realized that it was part of a great movement to desegregate public accommodations nationwide...
