...life is surely no secret. Some blame it on the students, the culture, or even the climate, but assigning blame will never change the simple truth: Harvard is not as fun as other colleges. But, thankfully, at least for one night of the year, Harvard has a secret weapon: Mather House’s foam party. The renowned Mather Lather is the cornerstone of springtime campus life, the sine qua non of fun at Harvard, the one night of the year where Harvardians can really party outside of a sweaty dorm room or final club...
...about every House throws a blow-out party at some point during the year to which the whole campus is invited, or that running a student organization with a fixed budget—be it the UC, a HoCo, or any other—requires allocating that budget responsibly. Mather should get the extra funding it deserves, but not because it needs a new foam machine. Mather should get the extra funding it deserves for being a really terrible place to live.

The Mather HoCo is onto something: The greater the pain-in-the-neck, the bigger the check...
...good riddance to Lowell’s wretched Unionists and to war-mongering Mather; let them be compensated for their bells that ring off-key and for their banishment to Central Square, respectively. I can’t wait to see what Harvard’s Houses-to-be across the river in Allston extract in exchange for their commute, which will arouse sympathy even from Matherites. The UC’s funding policies won’t change before Mather covers 650 innocent people in gallons of liquid soap, so scores will have to be settled some other way?...
