According to McLoughlin, an average of just 0.2 of riders took the shuttle each hour between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. This low usage, combined with the $1500-per-hour-per-month cost of running the shuttle during those times, presented the College with an obvious choice. Although we expected 24-hour shuttle service on a pre-set schedule would ultimately prove impracticable, the College’s dedication to the experiment—indeed even its willingness to pursue the experiment—is laudable. At a time when student safety has become a major campus concern, Harvard should...
...demise of the expanded service should not, however, strand students far from their rooms in the wee hours. McLoughlin rightly notes that HUPD cruisers are available to transport students at any hour, but many students—for reasons which range from intoxication to timidity—are reluctant to ride in the back seat of a cruiser when they simply want to get from one side of campus to the other. Moreover, HUPD is not a transportation service, and they are far from an effective substitute for one. Many students who have attempted to utilize HUPD for a ride...
...composing original and thoughtful essays summing up a semester of contemplation stifles his thought, then what on earth would set him free? I find it strange and unsettling that he believes that his independent thought is better stimulated by staring passively at a television screen than by spending an hour with his classmates discussing his own insights into his reading. My, my—I realize now that Freinberg has actually proven the very point he intended to argue against: clearly David Brooks is correct in underestimating Harvard students’ intellects, if students themselves believe that their television sets...
...guilty verdicts, though there was a consensus just as strong in the opposite direction on more than half of the charges. Still, it seemed we might complete the task. Before we left for the day, Juror No. 5 reasonably suggested that we ask the court for an extra half-hour to finally put this all to rest. Jordan, in particular, objected. She needed an extra night to think it over...
...that was basically that. On Friday, as we started to deliberate, we were abruptly stopped by court officers. We couldn't get the extra hour or so it would probably have taken to reach a verdict on most of the charges. No doubt we would have been hung on some of them. Jordan, who had unconscionably been outed by name by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, had received a threatening letter. The judge declared a mistrial. It was particularly frustrating that the mistrial was caused, in the end, by events outside the courtroom. Lord knows...
