...model Fabio.Okay, fine. So maybe Fabio doesn’t attend your Core section, but in many ways, Fashion Week and the Harvard undergraduate community have a lot in common. We both exist in bubbles and set the benchmarks for our fields.New York City Fashion Week is a nine-day fashion binge featuring 221 designers, numerous celebrity sightings, and plenty of attitude. The semi-annual event previews designers’ fall lines in a series of giant tents in Bryant Park in midtown Manhattan. For two days, we explored this unfamiliar fashion world. And for the record...

Last week what the Palestinians call the intifadeh (uprising) proceeded, and the peace process did not.

This extension would, of course, require making up those days elsewhere in the semester, but trading Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day holidays for a real shot at Thanksgiving at home seems worth it. This leaves one class day unaccounted for, but sacrificing that day’s classes is well worth the advantage of a contiguous nine-day vacation. And if it is untenable for the College to give up one day, it can follow Princeton’s model: Begin classes on the Thursday before our normal Monday start, and have students pick up one extra...
