...place,” he said. “We are much better when we know what you think rather than have to guess what you think.” Although several attendees said that they agreed with Shen’s suggestion, others said the onus to design acceptable plans on Harvard, which they said has still not provided details about the specific components of its Allston plan. In particular, residents complained about what task force chair Ray Mellone called “nebulous” plans for the Holton Street Corridor and a proposed housing complex for Harvard...
...student groups to hold meetings in campus facilities late into the evening and even allows courses to meet at night, forcing many students to make their way back to dorms long after dusk. Given that the University has not only accommodated but also incentivized our late night lifestyle, some onus inevitably shifts onto the administration to expand security budgets or explore new safety measures to protect students. A University should not put a price on student safety. Finally, the Staff’s view of campus security neglects to address the way in which this is a gender issue. Female...

The England-native would...
...More than anything, it was do or die at that point,” Unger said. “You can’t get down by too many against Princeton—six or eight points against Princeton is 12 against everyone else.” The onus was on Harvard to step up its defensive ability and do something it had done very little of during the season—get stops inside the paint. A Princeton timeout late in the game did nothing to quell the Crimson’s rising ambitions. Unger, junior forward Evan Harris...
