...first place, it seems safe to conclude that the gentleman is a man of some means, for saving money in his day-to-day activities is of little concern to him. He must use a cell-phone, for he has no need for the lower phone rates the council brokered. Likewise, he doesn't deign to take holiday shuttles to the airport, for the $35 cab ride doesn't vex his pocketbook. He must never have purchased a used-book at the COOP, for the fact that the council has pressured the COOP to add hundreds of used book titles...

Maybe academics is more the gentleman's style. The fact that the council saw that intercession to now be mandated at minimum of seven days, instead of as little as four days sometimes, doesn't seem to strike a chord with him. He seems to want more class, not a break from it. Nevertheless, I am led to believe that academics must not really concern the gentleman much either. He must have no need of departmental by-passes in the Core, nor the expanded number of offerings within each Core area. Nor does he care that the council lobbied...

...that can't be a big deal when you don't really care much about getting to know your professors, and this must be the case for the gentleman, for he probably has never invited a faculty member to lunch under the Student/Faculty meal program, which the council convinced Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 to finance. Nor has he ever taken the time to honor any faculty member by nominating him or her for the Levinson Awards, which the council's Student Affairs Committee hosts each year. Most likely, he has never cared enough about his classes...

Perhaps the gentleman is at Harvard to have fun? No, that must not be the case, either, as he seems never to have attended Springfest nor bothered to bring a date to the First-Year Formal. Indeed, he must be rather lonely, for he has no need to go to other Houses to visit friends, otherwise, he might find useful the enhanced Shuttle Service that the council convinced the administration to provide for students. Of course, what's the use for getting to other Houses, when the fact that your key card now swipes you in to them doesn...

What of safety concerns? The gentleman appears not at all to be effected by the work the council has done to get better lighting in former campus trouble spots, like DeWolfe Street. Nor does he care about the its work with the Coalition Against Sexual Violence. Moreover, the gentleman appears cloistered from the larger undergraduate body, as he seems aloof to the fact that the council's Finance Committee doles out money to more than 100 students groups in a timely fashion each and every semester. This, too, seems not to have passed under the gentleman's radar...
