...that he and the College are able to strike an administrative balance: undertaking projects that appeal to students and take advantage of the College’s resources, while leaving some aspects of social programming up to current undergraduates. Many of the problems with Harvard social life stem from lack of funding and lack of social space, rather than lack of student initiative. The fun czar is the ideal figure to secure funding and social space for undergraduates, because he—unlike the typical College student—is a paid College employee. Unfortunately, the official backing...
...intensity that is a college hockey game did not surprise me. But underneath that commotion—of players hustling to the puck or going for the body check in the corner—every game seemed to have one of those moments (call it a turning point, for lack of a better word) that only becomes obvious with the knowledge of the final score. Maybe it was a missed opportunity, the outcome of a one-on-one battle, or as random as a puck bouncing to the stick of the player, who happened to be attacking...
...Tuesday, I awoke at 1:28 p.m. Like many Harvard students, my class attendance is a bit spotty. And not only for lack of sleep: perhaps we need to study for a midterm, or we have a religious obligation, or we are sick, or we are just hungry and lunch doesn’t fit our schedule, or we are hungry and then we get sick from eating HUDS lunch.

...freshly-minted Class of 2012 may have been obscenely selective, but its members will curse their own good fortune when, as sex-starved sophomores, the absence of new transfer admits will lead to a complete lack of fresh meat. They will spend their senior year morosely re-reading their high school yearbooks and listening to the 2012 equivalent of Evanescence while sitting in the dark with the shades drawn. They will wonder why Harvard administrators thought it was OK to convert their suite’s bathroom into a double. They will grin and bear the pain of using...
...said that about 36 percent of college presidents were dissatisfied with their boards in terms of their giving, and about 60 percent were dissatisfied in terms of soliciting donations from other people. These percentages are in line with past surveys. But this year, administrators cited the trustees’ lack of knowledge as a major concern, he said. While all schools depend heavily on their Boards of Trustees for their fundraising efforts, colleges with larger endowments are more independent of immediate financial concerns. Harvard has consistently raised a substantial amount of money through fundraising efforts, averaging about $600 million...
