...Fienning, a 24-year-old resident of Dunster House, died at his home in Sumter, S.C., in July. He was one semester away from completing his bachelor’s degree in music. During his time at Harvard, Fienning made his mark through a variety of extracurricular activities. In 2006, as an active member of the Phillips Brooks House Association, he served as co-director for Refugee Youth Summer Enrichment—a summer program that teaches English to immigrants in Boston high schools. And he raised more than $900 for this spring’s Harvard College Marathon Challenge...
...negotiate or make any concessions, the more students stand to lose. The UC and administration each need to take a step back, stop focusing on how to thwart one another, and refocus on students.The UC grant system, imperfect though it is, provides valuable and essential service in fostering vibrant extracurricular and social life on campus.

Harvard policy allows all students who move off campus retain their swipe access. Pearlman says that the default appears to be that students must request to have their access maintained...
...treat our extracurricular and academic obligations as jobs, somehow forgetting in the process that we are in our late teens or early twenties and responsible (perhaps for the last time) to no one but ourselves. We are so eager to be involved on campus and in the classroom that we forget there is an entire world in which to be involved, one that makes the basement classrooms of CGIS and the panels on international affairs look pitifully inadequate. Our resources are great and our faculty superb, but no lecture on Latin American social movements can compare to watching the Madres...
