It’s not just the ability to party in our slippers that makes us love the Quad so much. We are well-fed, well-housed, and damn talented up here in Harvard’s northern woods. Our dining halls boast the best cooks (check the survey), we have the Pfoho Grille, and now crimsonfood.com delivers right to our doors. In the Quad, we have a higher frequency of singles—and obviously larger rooms in general—than any of the River Houses (with the exception of Mather’s lovely prison cells). There...

...briefly recap the facts: ANWR is an immense tract of untamed land in northern Alaska originally created in 1960 by noted caribou-hugger President Dwight D. Eisenhower. For almost 20 years, oil companies have had their eyes set on the coastal regions of that sanctuary, where there may be oil. May be, of course, because no one really knows; current estimates are that ten billion barrels of oil may be extractable. Thus, in a decade or two, drilling thirty coastal locations in ANWR could theoretically provide the U.S. with four percent of its current oil needs, at its peak capacity...
Proponents of ANWR drilling have been improperly minimizing the effects of oil development for years. They like to cite the growth of the caribou herd at Prudhoe Bay—a Northern Alaska drilling site that has been open for business since 1977—where caribou wander daily through industrial sites. But they ignore evidence that total herd growth is sustained by the females whose fecundity is least affected by industrialization. For the shrinking ANWR caribou herds, the impact of drilling on fertility could sound a death knell. Drilling proponents like to point to the small physical footprint...
