Think of this “can’t stand it” list as my secular, non-judgmental holiday present to readers that hints ever so mildly at potential resolutions for the New Year:10. Undergraduate Council (UC) shuttles to Logan Airport. This one doubly frustrates me because these shuttles that transport students during holidays are not only useless, but they are popular too.

...from freshman Shannon Flahive, whose 5.55 meter long jump notched first place in the event. However, a fourth place finish in the 60 meter hurdles was followed by a pulled hamstring in the 60 meter dash. “The preliminary report is that it’s a mild pull,” Haggerty said. “Hopefully she’ll be back by the end of the month.” Harvard had just one double-winner during the afternoon, as captain Laura Maludzinski finished first in both the 800 meters and the mile with times...
