...boasting a four-digit number of associates—accepting them into your pantheon of friends is a gesture of kindness. However, facebook.com’s upcoming “feature” that allows you to affix “degrees of friendship” will rub into random persons’ proverbial faces that, in fact, they might not know you at all—ouch.

...typical Harvard dorm party consists of only two things for sure: overcrowding, which guarantees you will rub up against at least three sweaty strangers, and the presence of overworked and sexually starved 18 to 23 year-olds, which guarantees you will rub up against at least three more. You would think that as Harvard students we would have mastered those puzzles they give you in kindergarten where you try to fit circles and squares into similarly-shaped wooden holes. Apparently, neither students nor the Administration deserve such credit, or they might have realized that a mass of 200 plus college...
