...masterpiece of public relations incompetence.Let’s start with the MAC. All that would have been required to pacify the bloodhounds on the UC was a single, well thought-out press release that described the closures and an action plan simultaneously. Extending gym hours, loaning the MAC??s fitness equipment to House gyms, or universalizing access to other athletic facilities could all have been adequate adjustments.

In this the year of the men’s first ever outright Ivy League title, they offer the “automatic tournament berth” neither basketball team could muster this season...
...free-weight room. Recently, with that gone, the desert has encroached—it’s a long, thirsty, two-floor climb up to the cardio rooms and the nearest alternative drinking fountain. Does this extended sahel/desert metaphor mean that soon fitness geeks will gather around the MAC??s pool as wildebeest do around a watering hole on the Serengeti? We’ll tell you once that drinking fountain gets replaced.One: Pimp our pit-stops. Three words: toilet seat protectors. Widener Library has them. Lamont Library has them. House common bathrooms don?...
