...University President Lawrence H. Summers admitted to a group of questioning prefrosh Saturday, the current shortfall in funding for students’ summer research abroad “shouldn’t have happened.” This year, an increased number of students seeking grants for thesis and other research abroad were denied funding because of the overwhelming number of applicants. After recent efforts by the College and University to increase international opportunities for Harvard undergraduates, a corresponding effort to improve funding of grants is in order. The drastic increase in student interest seen over the past few years...
...autobiography detailing my four years of class work. It should have been obvious: Harvard was sending me a message. After four years and around $150,000 in tuition, my days were numbered. But it wasn’t until this past weekend, when I saw hordes of wide-eyed prefrosh, red folders in hand, that it hit me—I am being pushed out to make way for the class of 2010.

BTDubs, FM has been told...
...nascent Campus Political Society (CPS) seeks to further similar goals of coordination, focusing on political groups on campus. In their first major project this weekend, the CPS organized a Political Activities Fair for prefrosh that brought 41 groups together in the Winthrop JCR to make their pitch to freshmen. In bringing these groups together, the fair allowed groups to not only recruit for their individual organizations, but to collectively make the case to prefrosh for involvement in the Harvard political community as a whole...
University President Lawrence H. Summers told prefrosh that the refusal of some students’ applications for summer research travel grants “shouldn’t have happened” and assured students that the gap will be resolved this year. At a question-and-answer session in the Science Center on Saturday morning, a concerned prefrosh queried the president about a report Friday that some students’ applications for summer research abroad were turned down due to heavier competition. Summers said he was disappointed to read the news in The Crimson, because he had been assured...
