POTSDAM, N.Y.--Okay, so maybe a Crimson sweep over St. Lawrence and Clarkson was asking a little too much...
...Well, okay, not best friends. But that's not the point. The point is, final clubs, while made up of individually nice guys, become entities of enormous cruelty, stupidity and tastelessness. It is truly a case of the whole being more than the sum of its parts. No member is Mephistopheles, but they have all made a Faustian bargain; their honor and integrity for acceptance into the hippest social scene at Harvard...
...injury, this year's winter break is badly placed. Vacation lasts from Dec. 20 to Jan. 1. Jewish students will get home in time for Hanukkah, which is a good thing. Students who celebrate Kwanzaa, however, will have to leave home on the last day of the holiday. (Okay, so few people actually celebrate all seven days, but still.)

The butt-shaking antics and tight leather attire of the supposed king of Latin dance-pop just don't do it for me anymore. Which would be okay if his songs still had the energy that jump-started his popularity. But the quality of Martin's newest endeavors, not that it's ever been that high, just hasn't maintained the status for constant cultural innovation that has made Latin pop so interesting. As an artist, Martin's development has been stunted...
