...writes that “hordes of social advocacy groups exist at Harvard” to prevent students from having mental breakdowns. Among these groups she counts Room 13 and Eating Concerns Hotline and Outreach. As the current co-director of Room 13, I find her flippant characterization of our organization to be distressing. Room 13 does not exist to simply “serve students cookies and talk stuff out;” rather, our group consists of 30 student volunteers who are specifically trained to counsel individuals on such topics as sexual assault, suicide, grief, relationship difficulties...
...population of type-A personalities, the college is running on anti-depressants. Hordes of social advocacy groups exist at Harvard to save its undergraduates from depressing, unrewarding, teetering-on-the-edge-of-serious-mental-breakdown lives. Room 13 will serve students cookies and talk stuff out; Eating Concerns Hotline & Outreach (ECHO) is around to help those students who can’t bring themselves to eat the cookies.

...said that with all the resources available at Harvard, he wonders “what type of infrastructure is in place at these other institutions” with lower graduation rates. Moore attributed the high rate of graduation at Harvard partially to the BMF’s outreach efforts for freshmen, along with the College’s own programs. Moore said that programs like the BMF’s brother-to-brother program, which matches first-years with upperclassman mentors, immediately acclimate freshmen to Harvard and can directly affect the school’s rates of retention and graduation...
...current concern over the level of exhaustion and lack of new ideas in the West Wing isn't necessarily a laughing matter. Some well-known, and mostly anonymous, Republicans outside the White House are indeed agitating for new blood. One Republican official said that Bush needs "a heavyweight for outreach to the Hill" and is considering "some senior folks to get some rudders back," but added that "they won't go outside the family." And Sen. Norman Coleman (R-Minn.), usually considered close to the White House, went public this week with a view that has been whispered among Republican...
