Known as the closed system, the latter method costs students a mere 20 points per company while the bidding process is more unpredictable. Bidding is done in a vaccuum, and students must calculate how many points they wish to spend without knowing how much others have...
That the Ad Board, in this disciplinary proceeding, chose to consider Harvard's sole recognized student government as a mere extracurricular activity shows how little respect Harvard administrators have for the council's role as representative of students' interests. Being an Undergraduate Council representative is not just "a sort of recognition or honor" like any other activity; it involves responsibility to constituents and their interests.

"I have to be thin to meet Jane Fonda," thought the columnist, who then proceeded to binge compulsively on bagels. "Instead of eating one, I ate three." An understandable lapse for mere mortals summoned into the presence of the U.S. Goddess of Fitness. But the nervous nosher was a no less exalted figure: Jane Brody, the nation's High Priestess of Health. At the meeting of the two unrestrained Janes, though, it all worked out true to form. Brody, after politely complimenting...
