...customers - Mike is left in charge. But Jerry has had a little accident at a local power station: his body has been magnetized, and when he touches the video boxes he instantly erases all the tapes, rendering them useless. The demand by a stern lady of the neighborhood, Miss Falewicz (Mia Farrow, a living connection to the Zelig trope), to watch Ghostbusters sends the guys scurrying to make their own 20-min. version of the old Bill Murray comedy, and finish it by nightfall...
...Passaic library to shoot the ectoplasm scenes, crack a couple of eggs for the special effects and borrow a young woman from the local dry cleaner's (Melonie Diaz) for the Sigourney Weaver role. (Later, the real Weaver shows up too, but not as herself.) The ruse is successful, Miss Falewicz likes their homemade version of Ghostbusters; and soon everyone in town is clamoring for the guys' rickety remakes of favorite movies, including The Lion King, Rush Hour 2, RoboCop, Boyz N The Hood, Driving Miss Daisy (with Black in the Jessica Tandy role), King Kong, Carrie, Men in Black...

Professor Tal Ben-Shahar ’96 tries unsuccessfully to finish his thought, but many miss even that: They’re already pouring out of Sanders Theater, sizing up a Positive Psych lecture that’s not even over. Packing up before professors finish speaking is the norm in many of Harvard’s large lecture halls. Of course, a few of these early departures face a marathon dash to Vanserg and have earned the right to leave. Most...
...uniquely Harvard phenomena, all three sororities at Harvard are chapters of large national groups that are also found at state colleges and Southern universities. Despite this affiliation, Harvard’s gates provide a decidedly different environment for its burgeoning Greek scene than the rollicking fraternity row at Ole Miss. Unlike many of their sister chapters, Harvard sororities lack one of the defining elements of sorority life: a house. Out of Harvard’s Hellenic chapters, only the fraternity Sigma Chi has real estate, whereas male final clubs and the Bee own or lease property on campus...
