...preliminary release of University Health Services statistics on sexual assault does not provide any information with which to potentially laud Harvard, as The Crimson suggests it might (Editorial, Oct. 25). On the contrary, the survey tells us that well over one percent of female undergraduates, equivalent to 52 students, indicated that they had been raped over the last year...
Earlier this week, University Health Services (UHS) released the results of a survey on sexual assault on campus. Although the survey results released so far show much lower incidence of rape than a 1988 national survey of rape on college campuses, we should wait to laud Harvard until the most recent national figures, gathered by the American College Health Association, are available in two weeks.

Journalists have done their fair share of probing into the pasts of the Democratic and Republican nominees...

First-years were quick to laud Harvard's handling of the plaster disaster. Perhaps they were still awed by the grandeur of first impressions. Perhaps the closeness of the Loker barracks provided better opportunities to "get to know your neighbors" than the ice cream bash. Or perhaps it was the embarrassment that they should have known what was coming all along: If the holes in the pavement in front of your building date back to before the advent of electricity, then the support beams in your ceiling are probably that old as well...
