...registration this term, I was most graciously presented with a copy of your "Registration Issue." Since I am interested in all aspects of Life at Harvard, I carefully read the paper only to find a very biting slur on my former institution. surely, Brooklyn College deserves a better fate than being referred to as a home of predatory females or more specifically "Date-seeking chicks...
