...university community, there would be a place for an ideal Lampoon. There are many days when it's not so great to get out of bed and realize you're alive in Cambridge--days when the Massachusetts sky dumps its cheerless load of snow and misery onto the frozen ground, when fingers numbed by cold try to hammer out the five tutorial papers due by dawn, when the sparkly conversation of a Lesley College charmer is not quite enough to make a satisfactory night's entertainment.

Late last year, the commission reversed itself after the northern lines promised...
