...doctor’s appointment is a difficult task but UHS’s high level of appointment cancellations and no-shows makes squeezing in a visit unnecessarily difficult. Last year, 12,000 of 180,000 UHS appointments were cancelled fewer than 24 hours ahead of time or missed altogether. These “dinkas” (short for “did not keep appointment”) swamped—or, rather, didn’t swamp—the busy dermatology and mental health services, representing about 15 percent of all appointments in those departments.

What could possibly be better than people gathering together to celebrate how Harvard is clearly far superior to Yale...
...Facebook for girls who “break the stereotype of unattractive women in Ivy League schools.” The chosen girls were then contacted via Facebook message with details on how they could win the honor (and the $1200 prize) of becoming Harvard’s next Miss University, a gateway to the national Miss CO-ED contest. The magazine encouraged each hopeful to submit flattering photos for “some advance consideration.” Everything came together last Tuesday in the Gilbert living room in Currier, where CO-ED judges rubbed shoulders with...
