...those Harvard students who choose to create an organization of their own, the financial complications that inevitably ensue are a rude awakening. Freeze was intended to fill a niche that Sebastian felt was ignored by the other publications at Harvard, but the unglamorous truth is that, unfortunately, absence does not necessarily signify a need—according to Harvard’s purse strings, that...
