...College Events Board (CEB) will be co-hosting special Stein Clubs in each of the Houses next month with the House Committees (HoCos), the College announced Wednesday. The 12-part “Pimp Yo’ Stein Club” series—featuring professional trivia, karaoke, “Dance Dance Revolution” (DDR), and food from Harvard Square restaurants—will culminate in Yardfest, an outdoor concert and carnival scheduled for April 28, Campus Life Fellow John T.
