Insider reasoning and concentration of power might make sense if the Fun Czar were both competent and, well, fun. Unfortunately, the position has gone lately to those who focused primarily on endearing themselves to University Hall staffers during the job hunt. All six of the previous Fun Czars have been white students, and lately they’ve been cut from the Crimson Key/House Committee/Harvard Concert Commission cloth—students who found more delight in the now-defunct Disney Singalong program than they did in increased funding for Yardfest artists.

In 2006, Harvard students made up 15 out of the 49 Army ROTC students participating in the MIT program, according to Lt. Colonel Timothy Hall, the department head of Army ROTC at MIT. This year, Harvard students make up 15 out of 86. Paul E. Mawn ’63, the chairman of Advocates for Harvard ROTC, said that this trend could be due, at least in part, to the College’s decision...
