...This week, while Harvard kids cried out that the shortening of their tailgate meant the end of their annual state school role-playing fantasy, Queen’s—an actual state school—pulled the plug on its Harvard-Yale analog until at least 2011. Alumni will instead be wooed back to campus for lower-key reunion events in May, after the undergraduate population has quit campus for the summer...

In any case, these pens are nice to stash in random places just for those times you might wind up needing them. Price: $2; cheaper when purchased in bulk...
