...also worried by Dean Hammonds’s refusal to say whether some Houses will be closed over January. Asking students and tutors who remain on campus to relocate for a month involves a slew of complicated adjustments. Will students in the Houses to remain open be required to pack up and store their belongings before winter break to enable J-term students to move in? Will tutors —the vast majority of whom live at Harvard year-round, with school and work commitments that require them to remain at Harvard during January—also be required...
...Force and the Harvard College Queer Students and Allies, hosted a workshop on dressing in drag. Professional female impersonator Fena Barbitall, otherwise known as Ryan M. Carpenter, taught would-be drag queens to “grab, cup, and pull back” and would-be drag kings to pack themselves down there. The seminar preceded next week’s drag show at the Cambridge Queen’s Head pub, where many of Carpenter’s protégés will perform. Some were not so new to the cross-dressing scene. At last year?...
...second. Though he took first, Christensen trailed after Round 1, having shot two over in the first round of play. In Round 2’s competition, Christensen dropped to five over, but nobody shot par or better in Round 2, so Christensen was able to move atop the pack at +7.

This week public hospitals were handing out free nicotine patches as the federal cigarette tax more than doubled, to $1.01, which means that in places like New York City a pack costs more than $9, sometimes more than $10. Like the lottery, this is exactly what Democrats should hate - a tax on the poor. (Do Dems stay silent on cigarettes because the government needs the money?) Certainly, in this economic climate, passing sin taxes is more tempting than ever...
...moral dimension of the tax, I do know that far fewer people will die from cigarettes because of it than are dying now. Past tax hikes have showed that smoking is price sensitive: Fewer kids start smoking and more smokers quit with each increase in the cost of a pack. Government "quit lines" got record numbers of calls on April 1, the day the current tax took effect. Restaurant smoking bans have also helped; so have ad campaigns about the dangers of smoking. Finding any and every way to deter and defeat the habit - including outlawing cigarettes and levying fines...
