...could ever forget ELVIS PRESLEY's way with Nunc Hic aut Numquam? Or his heartbreaking rendition of Tenere Me Ama? Well, chalk it up to sic gloria: a Finnish professor, Jukka Ammondt, has translated several of the singer's hits into Latin and, with the vocals provided by Finland's Eurovision Choir, put them on a compact disc. "Latin," says Ammondt, "is an eternal language, so what better way to immortalize a legend...
...hardly arrived "en masse" (whatever that means); only about forty students actually paid for their tickets (at company rates, incidentally, not full price), and they came largely to cheer on friends in the company and have a nice time (not "to show their support for men in chick's [sic] clothing"). Is it possible that someone present did not know exactly how much her ticket had cost? Yes. Does this mean anything? No. The fact that 80 percent of the student body needs some kind of financial aid to pay a $100,000 tuition tab does not mean that Harvard...
...excess "sophmoric" [sic]? Perhaps, but then, we have always believed that "sophmoric" is the kind of accusation that, if made at all, should at least be spelled correctly. The word, by the way, means "intellectually pretentious and conceited but immature and ill-informed;" it's a term with which Ms. Rose really ought to be quite familiar. Her inchoate, snitty, schoolmarmish, resentful, achingly stupid article is an embarrassment even by Crimson standards, which is saying a lot. Adam Feldman '95 Hasty Pudding Theatricals
...that piece, Lauren intended to create "positive profiles of people who [sic] we admire." Why not throw the hard questions at them? Why not quiz these "role models" about how they achieved success so early, what motivated them, what obstacles they faced? "Swing doesn't have to be an angry downtown magazine to connect," Lauren explains...
Perhaps it was fitting that on Halloween weekend Joe Mathews donned a particularly ghoulish mask of ignorance for his article on "Why Harvard [sic] Is Sick of Radcliffe." His crude sexism offends us all. Harvard, for which Joe Mathews blithely claims he is speaking, is not anti-woman or anti-Radcliffe. The last time I looked around here, snide machismo was out of favor with men as with women. Radcliffe College is a revered part of this institution--revered not just by its alumnae. It is more than fair to say that Harvard benefits immeasurably from Radcliffe's programs...
