When I think of all the hours John Hsu and I put into trying to increase campus security and organizing the Freshman Concentration Fair (an enormous success for the UC and the roughly 500 freshmen who attended, which the Crimson deigned not to mention), the dozens of hours Malcolm Heinecke put into organizing the Levinson Award Dinner, the effort and time David Duncan, Rob Rhew, Hillary Anger, the entire finance committee (I could go on and list every single UC member) spent on their projects, I really regret how difficult it is for Harvard's student government to publicize...

Then there are such literati as Arnold Wesker, John Wain, Malcolm Muggeridge and Leo Rosten, author of the H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N stories, whose cardinal sin, apparently, was failing to ply a dinner guest (Amis) with sufficient booze...
