...sufficient locations where students can gather for events, performances, or simple leisure time, and the absence of such spaces has a very real effect on the social choices students make. Likewise, eliminating vertical entryways in favor of horizontal hallways should be a priority in the renewal process. This new setup would be far more conducive to community building, since residents would not have to climb stairs in order to meet their neighbors. Currently, many Harvard students do not know the names—or even the faces—of people living only a few feet away from them. This...
Second, your editorial fundamentally misunderstands the Ad Board’s setup and purpose. You complain that students cannot hire an attorney for an Ad Board hearing. That is because the Ad Board is not a legal institution, like a court or the police, but an academic institution, to administrate the rules of the college.

Their romance unnerves her friends and coworkers, though, particularly when women start turning up dead with twin puncture wounds...
After years of discouraging this behavior, state and county governments are now doing the opposite. Many counties have early voting sites setup at various point in big cities; other states have removed the requirement that voters must provide "a reason" for voting early or by absentee. Deadlines are expanding in both directions so you can request absentee ballots sooner and cast them later. Voting is, slowly but surely, getting easier...
