...trip to see Todd and Brian last fall epitomizes my mixed feelings about fraternities. When I was there for a football game, I was amazed by the scene. The tailgates before the event, which included a slip-n-slide powered by beer, put Harvard Springfest to shame. Every station featured a large barbecue, keg and music (one tailgate even had a live band performing on top of a van). But most importantly, almost everyone at the school actually attended the tailgates. Such school spirit would never surface at Harvard, (Don't be fooled, though--just like at Harvard...

...Loeb Ex last weekend to take in a showing of Pericles. This play, being one of the late romances, naturally contains all the elements one might expect from Shakespeare's pen: sea burials, royal courtships, knightly jousting, hired assassins, tempests, poison, whorehouses, incest--incest?--basketball tournaments, stripteases, the electric slide...and, of course, pirates...

...South Park." Overlaid on bad Shakespeare, the result turns out to be surprisingly funny. In one of the most hilariously effective touches, the celebration that sets the scene for Pericles' and Thaisa's romance metamorphoses into a terrifyingly believable middle-school dance--complete with strobe lights, the electric slide and the immediate clearing of the dance floor when the slow songs begin.

...Radcliffe agreement, our interest in the debate might be less about the diploma itself and more about redefining (or even just understanding) the role of Radcliffe at Harvard. I'm not sure any of us knows what that is anymore, and it's too important an issue to let slide. The diplomas should be equal for men and women (i.e., they should be Harvard only), but it's also necessary to start talking about Radcliffe and redefining our terms. Radcliffe does and should mean a great deal to us, but it's time to realize that its meaning has changed...

...little girl, a swan in a herd of ducks, interpret the Waltz of the Flowers. My pals will become cranky geezers who can't tolerate loud voices, can't bear to be contradicted and go around snarling about the disappearance of all decent standards and the long grim slide toward Republicanism. But the father of a baby daughter is, ex officio, an optimist...
