...life improvements and making the realities of a Harvard undergraduate education worthy of its reputation.Debates on student life issues should be led by the UC. Two years ago, the UC loudly advocated for a 24-hour library. We now have not only a 24/5 library, but the hugely successful Lamont Café.
