Over the past few weeks, the everyday life of Marisol Pineda ’08 has often demanded as much agility and grace as the traditional Mexican dance she considers her art. While Ballet Folklórico is “very fast paced and demands a lot of synchronization,” Pineda has also had to perform a tripartite role as co-director, choreographer, and dancer in preparation for the April 22 “Presencia Latina” show...

Lopez says he respects others' alternative tactics, but he feels that in order to "keep Democrats' feet to the fire," a day-long economic boycott and general strike is the only solution...
...bags. In other words, it’s finally Senior Spring, and chaches are flying out of the woodwork at record pace. Over spring break, an aggressive portion of the senior class moved en masse to Acapulco, where they found out that you can lead the Harvard student to Mexican waters, but you can’t make her have sex with anyone. The University’s policy of bizarrely timed breaks that keep students from interacting with students from other colleges worked wonders. Aside from the odd Stanford sighting, Harvard kids basically looked at each other and thought...
