...nascent Campus Political Society (CPS) seeks to further similar goals of coordination, focusing on political groups on campus. In their first major project this weekend, the CPS organized a Political Activities Fair for prefrosh that brought 41 groups together in the Winthrop JCR to make their pitch to freshmen. In bringing these groups together, the fair allowed groups to not only recruit for their individual organizations, but to collectively make the case to prefrosh for involvement in the Harvard political community as a whole...
...funding gods must be smiling on undergraduate social life this month. Two weeks ago, College administrators agreed to channel $200,000 toward the nascent College Events Board’s inaugural budget.

So as we write...
...Iranian policy, he says, is to stabilize the nascent government in Baghdad, not to disrupt it. ?Security [in Iraq] is good for us because then there?s no pretext for foreign troops to remain,? he said. If Washington had proof that Iranian forces were operational in Iraq, then it should be produced, he insisted. Instead, he says, it is time for Tehran and Baghdad to establish a strong strategic relationship, replete with intelligence sharing and Iranian assistance in building up the Iraqi security forces, roles the U.S. currently holds a monopoly over. ?What we actually want inside Iraq today...
