...course, defining the "real world" and its "real people" can be sticky. Whose to say that the quality of mackerel and incestuous soap operas are more "real" than any of our daily concerns, especially for we seniors, for whom resume font size and Kaplan Review are no laughing matter...
When Boris Yeltsin was baptized, a tipsy priest dropped the baby in the font and left him there, struggling for air, until his terrified parents persuaded the priest to fish him out. The priest was not fazed, Yeltsin recalled in his autobiography. "The boy's a fighter [borets in Russian]," he said. "We'll call him Boris."

The enforcement of these rules is just another bullet point on the list of the Harvard administration's crackdown on fun. The font of the bulletin's title is consumed in flames, indicative of the heated debate between students who are looking for an outlet for fun and administrators who hope to quell those very thoughts. On the same day that Q TIPS was distributed to Quincyites, students completed tabling for their annual...
