Last year’s FallFest, which drew hundreds with its carnival atmosphere, giant inflatable slide and bouncy dinosaur, has become this year’s FallFeast. The event, run and financed by the Undergraduate Council, will take place tomorrow from 12:30 to 4 p.m. in the Quad...
...selecting their routes. For example, despite the best efforts of the Cambridge Police Department and the HUPD, it is best not to walk alone through the Cambridge Common at night. Rather, as highlighted on the map in the University telephone directory, the recommended walking route going toward the Quad is along Garden Street across from the Common.

I tried to remind myself that I was by a college campus in Cambridge, not exactly what one might consider a hot spot for late night crime. I could not help but quicken my pace...
