...director of Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS). HUDS has served 130,000 pounds of seafood in the past year and offers fish 19 times a month. “Every time they have fish I eat it. I’m mostly vegetarian and fish are my meat of preference,” said Morgan Mallory ’09. Her table-mate, Anthony Micallef ’09, said he would prefer “more variety” in the fish selection. And more fish variety is exactly what HUDS has cooking. Martin said that Lawrence R. Kessel...
...most overlooked factor in the decline of married households is the contribution our elderly make to this trend. We used to keep our grandparents at home, in the spare room, but now they prefer the weather in Florida and the 24-hour care of retirement homes.

The short-term health effects of marijuana are inconsequential compared to the long-term effects of criminal records. Unfortunately, marijuana represents the counterculture to many...
Those who would prefer that students be given the power to allocate their individual fee are deeply naive. Under this proposal, students would choose in September where to send their money, spending it as indiscriminately as freshmen pen their email addresses down at the Activities Fair. Undoubtedly, some student groups would be swamped with money, like the Harvard Canadian Club with over 150 registered members, that they had no intention to spend, while others would be left in the dust...
