...from a return to its old guard-oriented blueprint. Sullivan has brought his squad back to the league mean in response to last year’s failure, attempting to find success by catering to the dominant Ivy trend. He recruited four guards, all 6’4 or shorter, and just two frontcourt players, neither taller than 6’7, swinging the balance back to the perimeter for the foreseeable future. The nucleus of this year’s team has also been transferred from the frontcourt to the backcourt, as Harvard will live and die with...
...flashes of red this past Saturday at Teagle Hall in Ithaca, NY as the Crimson (2-1) defeated Dartmouth and lost to Cornell in a double-dual meet. Looking to build upon last week’s victory against Penn in its season opener, Harvard struggled in the shorter-distance events, winning only three races under 500 yards. The Crimson won 5-out-of-16 races at the meet, besting the Big Green in points 230-65, but ultimately falling to an impressive Cornell squad 131-167. Two juniors led the charge for Harvard, as Sam Wollner and Geoff Rathgeber...
...ghetto-funk star? Fergie’s new video “Fergalicious” is Willy Wonka’s wet dream. Fergie prances through candy-cane forests and lollipop trees wearing the flouncy frocks that remind us of childhood—except they are a whole lot shorter than you remembered. She later titillates with the most revealing girl-scout costume you’ve ever seen. In the words of the song, which seem to capture the essence of both middle-school pubescence and this fantasyland video, “I smell sex and candy here...
...says Kevin, the elder of the two boys, who was hooked on the game before the age of 10 and had plenty of coaches push “the college route,” which took him all the way to Harvard. There are only two skaters shorter than Kevin, who is 5’9, on this year’s Crimson, and just three lighter than his 175 pounds. But in a game that often prizes physicality and brute strength, Du has made a living with his speed, slippery moves, and impressive durability in the face of looming...
...Twenty years ago, these haunted houses were smaller and open for a shorter period of time, often for charity. Today, attractions in this $300 million industry require anywhere from $150,000 to $400,000 to be worth a howl. Marketing, particularly web sites, and advertising eat up a chunk of this, while sophisticated props like animatronics (robotic creatures) might run as high as $16,000 for a lifelike monster. Some places create entirely new sets each year. Some scenes take two to three years to build and can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000, according to Amber Arnett...
