...your pants pockets with plastic bags and then fill them with gin or moonshine. Better yet, do this with cargo pants or those big moonboots. Hit the alumni tailgate and steal some massive martinis and roast suckling pig from unwitting robber barons. Or settle for the five beers. And shed a tear for Harvard’s stellar football team. Nobody will watch them—far fewer Elis, the many students who will party on this side of the river, and the canny students heading to the less-draconian alumni tailgate.

Riley ’07 donned the navy blue Harvard sweatshirt that is the trademark attire of her running mate, President John S. Haddock ’07. Meanwhile, Haddock shed his sweats for a pink t-shirt and a blue vest—Riley’s favorite flair. Rosier decked himself out in a tight white tank top, a close-fitting aquamarine jacket, and a hot pink coat—which, he said, was meant to mimic Andrea R. Flores...
