...Brittan] to do that at the ECAC Championships going into NCAAs is a big confidence booster for her,” Saretsky said. And though the women’s 4x800-meter relay team finished eighth in the final yesterday, running the event in 9:11.98, the quad group of seniors Jan Ng and Aishlinn O’Callaghan, sophomore Thea Lee, and freshman Meghan Looney set a new school record in its preliminary heat. Its time of 8:51.13 on Saturday bested the previous school record of 8:52.52, set in 2006 by a group that included...
...adamant assertions that “there are advantages and disadvantages to every House” are beginning to wear thin. Despite the disputable pros and cons of each location, only the blindly obtuse could refute that residents of Harvard’s three “Quad houses”—Cabot, Currier, and Pforzheimer—will be disproportionately affected by the recent budget cuts.

The recent budget cuts only heighten existing shortcomings, so that the number of holes in services available for Quad students has now approached the point of absurdity. Students may soon find themselves without cell-phone reception, unable to call the escort service that would have replaced the shuttle that isn’t there, to take them to a library that isn?...
...addition to obvious safety concerns that demand revocation of current cuts, the lack of late-night transportation limits Quad students’ ability to hold late -night jobs or participate in many extra-curricular activities. Religious students will now be offered no transport for the journey to services on weekend mornings, and no one would envy the fate of a Quadded athlete, forced to rise before the sun in order to travel to practice by foot on university holidays...
...This prohibitive lack of transport options presents the greatest inconvenience for Quad students with disabilities. Even prior to the cuts, the disability van became the night van after 7 p.m., meaning that students with disabilities were often forced to face a 45-minute wait each time they used the service. The situation is only likely to worsen as the number of shuttles falls and demand for the night bus increases. Furthermore, the decreased number of shuttles means that those remaining will be even more crowded, presenting significant accessibility concerns for students with wheelchairs. Given the lack of convenient travel options...
