It’s Monday night at fair Harvard. Typically, the biggest weeknight soirees on campus are Ec 10 study sessions in the halls of Widener and Lamont. However, three days ago, roughly 500 Harvard students made the trek to a new promised land: Harvard State University (HSU). The party advertised the experience of college as it was meant to be: pulsing lights, pounding beats, short skirts and the requisite freaks and grinds. Three bars keep the libations flowing like water, lubricating the red and black fantasy world of Club Europa. “[HSU] shows that we do know...
...away the best showmanship of the night came from Kate D. Greenhalgh ’05, who played the shrewish wife Grumnigra just as shrilly as the name would imply. Her performance, highly reminiscent of the squeaky-voiced Lena Lamont character in Singin’ in the Rain, often stole the show. In a way, though, her dominance was a shame; if other actors had dug into their characters as much as Greenhalgh did, they could easily have taken back some of Greenhalgh’s well-earned applause...
...Lamont Library may soon receive an unnecessary facelift—Harvard College Library (HCL) plans to spend some $1 million on substantial changes to the undergraduate scholar’s favorite locale. Among the proposed changes include a relocation of the well-loved third-floor reading room to the fifth floor in order to convert that entrance level space into a new media center. This move has been in the air for some time now, and age has not improved the lackluster impression it gives—that it is a waste of resources. But another bad idea is surely...
...That would be nice, but experience has taught Harvard’s undergraduates to be wary of cost-cutting moves disguised as reactions to student woes. In the recently announced shrinking of Hilles Library, HCL is planning for a comprehensive reimagining of the building for student group use. For Lamont, administrators have offered an unimpressive suggestion of some sort of student cafe—even more unnecessary with the Barker Center’s rotunda cafe literally across the street—to replace the highly utilized Gov Docs. What may be palatable in Hilles tastes sour nearer...
...data, students from various social science departments use it as a resource. With usage studies seemingly out of date, and without direct consultation with students, HCL’s push to move Gov Docs seems to have little student interest motivation. In fact, the plan actually weakens the service Lamont Library offers to undergraduates by removing the resource out of the heart of the undergraduate library system...
