...apparent failure of the Residential House system to effectively “create community” within its sphere of influence. While most are satisfied with their experience, these complaints have merit. The system currently lacks a programmatic emphasis and must be reinfused with popular programming outside the realm of Stein Clubs and parties, bringing speakers out of the lecture halls and into the Houses...
...wondering what has become of children's books with the sweeping, mythic dimension of classic folktales, here is proof that the genre still has life in it. Gerstein's stirring story covers hundreds of thousands of years and a vast landscape; his illustrations rise to the realm of Chagall-like lyric fantasy.

What advocacy we expect them to do is wholly within the realm of undergraduate life at Harvard—on questions like the Harvard College Curricular Review, the development of a new campus in Allston, and the extension of library and dining hall hours. Unlike the question of employee pay, these issues all pertain immediately, directly, and undeniably to our experience as students...
