...only wishes it were longer. The circumscribed length of Kuper's version of "The Jungle" dispenses with much of the minor character development - so much so that it gets a bit confusing.

All students must look towards the administration for a better and more equitable system. The only feasible, affordable way for students to acquire usable common space is with some help from Harvard. Hard to swallow though it may be, all students need to align towards achieving the most valuable common goal: finding alternate areas that every Harvard student (male and female) can enjoy together...
