...there have been mistakes, things may have gotten out of control, and it may be easy this week to forget that Harvard's prime business is education, not entertainment. And when all the chocolate 350th shields have been eaten, and the officially sanctioned pens have been drained of their ink, Harvard will be left in relative peace once again--a bit prettier, a bit richer and a year older, but probably none the wiser. Despite recalling its birth as the beginning of higher education in America, the University sadly missed this opportunity to reexamine either itself or education in general...
...handling of radioactive material or disposal of nuclear wastes, they fail a critical test. Aside from cooking, only irradiation is penetrating enough, say the experts, to come close to meeting new federal guidelines mandating "zero tolerance" for microbial contamination of ground beef, which, unlike pork or poultry, is often eaten rare.

Much the same could be said of the last Undergraduate Council year (and, indeed, of the last two or three years). In all the fuss over Nigeria, Burma, grapes and the transgendered, something essential has been lost: relevance...
...These include the small wicker model, the milk crate, the traditional metal grid and the snappable, apparently useless leather pouch which hides beneath and in back of the seat. Nothing may be carried in these baskets. The seat is either in black or tan leather and is most often eaten away at the edges by some sort of decades' old fungus. Handlebars must be upright in "cruising fashion," and the number of speeds may not exceed three. A "bell" is optional and coveted...
