...against a UC check (or lack thereof, these days). Perhaps the occasional frivolous purchase is the price we have to pay for the most responsive and accommodating of all campus institutions. Execution can miss the mark: brain-break offerings don’t put a dent in late-night hunger, and the “ethnic”-ness of endless grilled-chicken riffs is debatable. But HUDS’ efforts to invite—and respond to—student feedback are remarkable: take cage-free eggs and fair trade bananas, for example—and the mere fact...
Nelson T. Greaves ’10, in particular, is hysterical as Erysichthon, a king who is punished by the god Demeter for cutting down a sacred tree. Demeter sics an excitingly creepy Hunger (Sara L. Wright ’09) on the king. As Wright quite literally clings to Greaves, his character descends into a starvation-induced madness, eating everything in sight and selling his mother into slavery when the money runs out.

...Where Narcissism Rules” (Oct. 3, oped) paints her as a proponent of “reasoned debate,” the columnist failed to formulate one coherent critique of the campaigns she implied were self-promotional.

Coggins fairly paraphrased the TV host, but provided an obscured description of her classmates’ actions. Coggins contrasted a campaign that was, in every sense...
...even if our brand of activism doesn’t carry the same clout as that of Sharpton or MoveOn.org, we should think about whether or not we are effectively championing our beliefs. Groups ranging from Harvard Right to Life (and its dreaming fetus posters) to Stand for Security (hunger strike, anyone?) have been accused of organizing unnecessarily contentious campaigns. Proponents of either group would argue that is the most effective way to draw the limelight to any issue or cause—and to an extent that is correct...
