...revive a tradition from the days of old,” she said. Alford noted that the social space at the Women’s Center enabled the interns to improve the event from its previous incarnations. “I think this is probably on a bigger scale than they probably ever had,” she said.

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 purpose of the new discount cards is twofold. Many stores in the Square already offer reduced prices to students...
