...DAPA, was founded with the intention of educating students on safe drinking behavior. While this program was a good step for student safety, Harvard should push for alcohol education on more fronts. Specifically, the College should allow and encourage the plethora of upperclassmen advisors on campus to have an explicit conversation with their advisees about alcohol. These upperclassmen—including Peer Advising Fellows, Freshmen Outdoor Program leaders, Freshmen Urban Program leaders, and student-group comp directors, to name a few—have a close and influential relationship with freshmen, and can model moderate drinking habits, answer difficult questions...
...repulsive, manipulative elder persuading a young person to do his dirty bidding. But the ads are repelling more than just would-be smokers. Those in the tobacco industry, and even the owners of bars, cafés and shops where the posters have appeared, are outraged over the explicit sexual message in the images.

Casement’s own description of Arana recalls “the unseen presence of victorious corruption” that Marlow senses...
...aiming” a camera and “shooting” an image. Enmeshed in the sexual economy of the gaze, vision too exercises a system of control over women’s bodies. Positioning the self against an inassimilable (female) other, the eye serves as an explicit instrument of objectification and mastery. As feminist Luce Irigaray theorizes, the supremacy of looking over all other sensory experiences—hearing, smelling, tasting, touching—has effected an impoverishment of bodily relations. Deflated to the two-dimensional surface—the film, the television screen, the billboard, the magazine...
