While shoppers with COOP membership numbers look forward to receiving rebate checks each year, a new COOP program now offers members the chance to donate their rebates to aid hurricane relief on the Gulf Coast. The COOP has also agreed to match all donations up to $50,000. All money raised will be distributed to Harvard’s Phillips Brooks House Association (PHBHA) and to The MIT Public Service Center. According to General Manager Allan E. Powell, so far The COOP has collected over $34,000 from rebates, and will match that amount and then distribute the money. Powell...
...semester draws to a close and I prepare to leave the chilly North to head back to New Orleans, I want to take a moment to thank the Harvard community for all you have done, not only for me, but also for my fellow visiting Gulf Coast students. The weeks following Hurricane Katrina were difficult for everyone. I spent 10 nomadic days on what I thought was an extended vacation road-tripping from New Orleans to Texas to Georgia and finally back to my home in Tallahassee.

I found it very inspiring that at this evacuee center, 45,000 people showed up to help 23,000 evacuees. I played with a 4-year-old girl who seemed so oblivious in so many ways to what was happening around her. She had her grandfather, and she had her mother. So in times...
...increase its instability. But so would a continued American presence there. Sending yet more troops to Iraq--if there were more troops to send--would only make things worse. We are seeing in retrospect that Saddam Hussein's brutal regime, crippled and contained in the aftermath of the first Gulf War, was perhaps the best of many bad scenarios. As for the future, we can pull out American troops and watch things disintegrate, or we can keep our forces in Iraq and watch things disintegrate. The only benefit to the first scenario is that Americans won't be the ones...
