...policies should be made even more liberal. The current blanket restrictions for the 15 countries in question should have an exception procedure whereby students can apply to get credit and funding for travel and programs in restricted areas on a case-by-case basis. Such procedures already exist at peer institutions like Yale, whose system of restriction waivers allows students to explore normally restricted opportunities by petition. Harvard should ensure that students demonstrate their understanding of the risks involved and perhaps talk to some sort of adviser to make sure they have exhausted alternative options to travel. We understand that...
...Alliance (BGLTSA). BGLTSA board members covered the table with information packets, rainbow ribbons, and two posters—one for BGLT students to sign, titled “Out and Proud,” and one for allies to sign, titled “We support our queer peers.” When the board members closed up shop at 2:00 p.m., each poster had about 40 signatures. “We don’t have massive anti-gay protests,” said Noa Grayevsky ’07, the BGLTSA Community Chair...
...some countries under State Department travel warnings as approved travel destinations was a welcome turnaround from a wrongheaded previous policy.

...vendor with a loyal following among Harvard’s budget-conscious students. Yagan recently diversified Redline’s textbook offerings and expanded its stock. His older brother, however, has been less fortunate. Sam A. Yagan ’99, president of MetaMachine, the company that distributes the peer-to-peer program eDonkey, announced at a U.S. Senate Judiciary Hearing on Sept. 28 that his company would “convert eDonkey’s user base to an online content retailer operating in a closed P2P environment.” He did so in response to a cease...
...darkness to my window, to open up the blinds and greet the beautiful spring day. Faces pressed against the glass—not unlike those Garfield dolls suctioned-cupped to a car window—a group of camera-toting, map-clutching tourists were trying to peer into my room. Apparently, they had decided that peering into a complete stranger’s room at 10 o’clock on a Friday morning would be a good way to see how Harvard students live. I felt like a fish in an aquarium, except I doubt fish feel violated. Before...
