Time flies, doesn't it? A mere hour ago, the distinguished Barry S. Kane, FAS Registrar extraordinaire, sent his first email of the semester. The implications, of course, are clear: the semester is over, another year has passed, and you better fill out your Q Guide or prepare to get bumrushed, KGB-style...
...Unfortunately, students’ antics deflect attention from their stated goals. Last week, SLAM interrupted University President Drew G. Faust’s lunch in Eliot dining hall to offer her a letter detailing their demands. And at FAS Dean Michael D.

They are behemoths hanging over residents and a constant reminder of the project there, which, for residents like Jake, has recently taken a particularly insulting turn. Not only did Harvard rush through the approval process to build the center, but the university also blasted a huge hole into the ground, displacing the rat population of the entire area...
