...situation is, well, sort of hilarious. So, revel in the humor and know that field ± sporting event + alcohol + defiant community = fun. The utter absence of Yale students means more alcohol for Harvard students and fewer pranks that nobody notices. (It’s like the mime in a forest question. If a prank happens in a stadium, and nobody sees it, does it happen? No.) And the new restrictions beg for student guerilla-style ingenuity.

The strongest of the student choreography was ironically the piece that started...

Bill Wyman, Paul McCartney, it's time you admitted what you truly are." So next time you mime to a track, bass cranked up high, remember?it's air ukelele you're playing. www.ukuleleorchestra.com
