...custodial workers, it would only be fair that HUDS workers would also benefit from a commensurate increase in wages. In addition to all the justifications advanced for the pay raise for custodial workers—soaring cost of living in the Boston areas, higher wages at peer institutions—providing dining hall workers with higher wages would be further justified by the need for a better safety net for unexpected summer unemployment (even at its best, Harvard could never re-hire all dining hall employees for the summer). Moreover, the entire Harvard community stands to gain from a happier...
...Peer advising fellows were treated to a surprise dinner at Fenway Park’s EMC Club Monday and learned that in addition to an expected $1,000 stipend, each would receive $300-a-semester to spend on their 10 freshman advisees.With the additional $600-per-fellow allocation, as much as $305,000 could be spent on the new program.The roughly 190 fellows are assuming some of the duties of the former Prefect Program since they are also assigned to entryways.

With a surprising 480 applications to sort through on a tight schedule, this was a considerable accomplishment, but the process used for selecting PAFs belied the success. Its methods—particularly the solicitation of recommendations from undergraduates on the Student Advisory Board (SAB)—sparked controversy and left more than...
...Harold,” the genders of the mismatched lovers are reversed: Marianne (Joanna D. Goldstein ’06), a sultry 14-year-old girl, becomes the erotic fixation of a geriatric lecher, Donald (John K. Minervini ’07), after a brief flirtation over the Internet peer-networking program Myspace. Minervini was hysterically funny as Donald: his arthritic posture and craggily old man voice were delightfully over-the-top. However, during his musical numbers, Minervini dropped the old man act and belted with the clarity and intensity of a Broadway veteran—resulting in a hilariously...
