...decided, with some noteworthy opposition among its faculty, to give columnist George Will an appointment to teach at the school. As a firm believer in the first Amendment and a strong advocate of giving students the opportunity to hear divergent voices on issues, I believe the Will appointment is okay. But Harvard ought to know a little more about Will's credentials...
...really terrible rooming situation. When we left the Yard there were ten of us. We all blocked together for our first year in the house. It was okay, except at the end of sophomore year, five of the block went out on their own, mostly because of their dislike for "Sally." It's the end of my junior year, and I just found out three more left. Now I'm all alone with Sally. Sally, Sally, Sally. She drives me absolutely bonkers.

For instance, which hypothetical rooming group sounds more "diverse" to you, a triple with three Black students, or one with one Black student, one Asian student and one white student?

...Okay, Yale beat us in football and our showing in the Beanpot wasn't, stellar. But at least one Harvard team is on top of things. Its members need strength, conditioning and a polished wood floor, but they prefer the foxtrot and the samba to layups and three pointers--the Harvard-Radcliffe Ballroom Dancing team...
