...hype was unprecedented for a Harvard pep rally. The College Events Board (CEB) had arranged for the hit DJ Girl Talk to perform. Students eagerly anticipated his live show, legendary among music fans, at the end of the pep rally, which was supposed to arouse excitement for the weekend’s football game against Yale. But even before Girl Talk began playing, things began to go wrong. From the flimsy and possibly dangerous stage setup, to the chaotic and unsafe conditions in the front rows, to the constant interruptions and ultimate cancellation of the concert by the Harvard University...
...Girl Talk pep rally ended in ignominy. Audience members were shoved and crushed to the point of bruising, pregaming retroactively devolved into mere “gaming,” and dozens of cold, slightly drunk students never got to hear what the Krokodiloes would sound like remixed with Birdman and Lil Wayne’s 2007 hit “Pop Bottles” (the answer is “incredible”).

A glance at the Crimson archives reveals that this stricken reaction to the rally’s collapse is actually more striking than the collapse itself—given that the odds of success were so extremely...
...very least, it means students shouldn’t look to assign blame for the Girl Talk incident of 2008 to the CEB, or the lack of barriers, or the Masonic ministrations of the Fly Club. No: For whatever reason, the cosmos themselves are aligned against any such rally held on Harvard’s grounds. No more than five have been pulled off in a half-century. And if 2005 was any indication, these rallies are pretty stupid, even when they succeed. If anything, we should be happy that, these days, Harvard spirit can only barely induce shoving. Everyone...
Last night’s pep rally at Harvard Yard was cut short after multiple failed attempts at crowd control, grinding the highly anticipated concert by DJ Girl Talk to a halt. The performance, meant to up the excitement for The Game tomorrow, ended prematurely, with organizers asking the hundreds of attendees to step back. “The ultimate decision to end the concert was that of the Harvard University Police Department,” said College Events Board President John F. Pararas ’08-’09, who is also a former Crimson magazine writer...
