...This January, the Undergraduate Council (UC) will be issuing student discount cards to all undergraduates, thereby expanding the array of markdowns and freebies available to Harvard students in the Square. Although it is necessary that the UC focus much of its efforts on large-scale projects such as calendar reform, the introduction of something such as discount cards is a refreshing reminder that the student government can make small but helpful changes in campus life.

The Democratic candidates are uniformly in favor of comprehensive immigration reform, including a path to citizenship for those who have entered the country illegally. But they receive sharp - pointed - applause when they say illegals should "have to speak English" before becoming citizens. When I asked Hillary Clinton about that, she said she'd noticed it too and added, "During the 1990s, I cannot remember being asked about immigration... Why? Because the economy was working...
