...they would be available to perform, but they “were never officially considering Eve 6.” The concert, which will be open to Harvard undergraduates, will take place on a Sunday this year, as opposed to last year’s Saturday performance. Mee said he does not expect the Sunday date to affect turnout, as the concert was held on Sunday in its first iteration and still saw a large turnout. He added that it should be over by 9 p.m. Last year, pop-rock artist Gavin DeGraw and hip-hop group the Wu-Tang...
...collegiate conviviality has fallen from the civility of a kinder and gentler era. Where once the university quadrangles resounded with the tipsy warbling of De Brevitate Vitae or other commercium songs, now only the echoes of mass-market electronic recordings disturb the silence of Saturday evenings. Beer pong has replaced banter, courtship has yielded to hook-ups, pot is preferred to pipe tobacco. The choice of drink, and the style in which it is quaffed, is likewise illustrative: watery beer or cheap liquor, impurities masked by the syrupy sweetness of sodas and juices, downed in furtive binges.

...claimed responsibility for this latest attack, and suspicions naturally pointed to the Real IRA, the group behind last Saturday's double murder at an army barracks in Antrim. On Tuesday morning, another splinter group, Continuity IRA, said they were behind the latest murder. Both groups were started by members of the Provisional IRA, who disagreed with the peace process, but have recently recruited younger members. They remain tiny organizations but the attacks raise the spectre of a new campaign of terrorist violence; something most people in Northern Ireland had thought they would never see again.
