...will require fewer language courses than current language-intensive tracks.Now that a final version has been agreed upon, the proposal will soon be presented to the Educational Policy Committee. Schiefsky, who is also a professor in the department, said that he hopes the curriculum, which was approved in draft form by the department in December, will be approved soon so that much of it can be implemented next year. It is unclear how requirements for current concentrators will be affected, he said.The revisions were designed to improve the concentration’s flexibility and accessibility to students who have...
...Sometimes these protectionist clauses are not included in the original bills sent by executives to a country’s legislatures—and yet they creep in, in the form of amendments and edits. In America, for instance, the incoming Obama administration was so keen on passing the ARRA around Valentine’s Day that the final version of the bill got passed in PDF format; not all legislators had a final version of the 700-page document they were passing, which, as it turns out, will help create a federal deficit this year that would...
...some of my peers getting pumped for Purim, others giving up chicken for Lent, and others conscientiously forswearing any form of belief, I cannot help wishing that Harvard provided us the opportunity to engage with the complex fabric of religious belief both inside and outside the classroom.

These elements collectively comprised an alternative form of entertainment and self-expression for inner-city youth, while creating a burgeoning impetus for social change. At the center of this cultural maelstrom was Grandmaster Flash, né Joseph Saddler, who, along with fellow DJs Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaata, formed a veritable holy trinity of hip-hop. In the 30 years since Saddler’s heydey, however, the genre?...
...Unchainable Squawk.Every week, an avant-garde, atypically bohemian crowd sporting overgrown hairdos and too-tight jeans gathers for a “session” at the Squawk Coffeehouse—an open mic remedy that banishes the stress of the long week. Unlike open mics geared to one form of artistry like music or poetry, Squawk opens up the floor to any and all types of performance. The organizers aren’t choosy, so long as performers deliver complete “phonetic liquidity.” By the end of the night the result of unrestricted performance...
