...negative ramifications of alcohol are countless. Students are more likely to be arrested, engage in risky sexual activity, and have academic-related problems if they are heavy drinkers. More than 150,000 students will be diagnosed with an alcohol-related health issue each year. What is Harvard doing to stop this? Not enough, and the amnesty policy Harvard has in place is actively hurting the student body. With stricter policies, there might finally be a downward trend in binge drinking, and a happier, healthier student body...
Common Spaces: Kirkland's Junior Common Room is classic Harvard, with carved wood paneling, red drapery, and a trophy case to display fair Kirkland's gleaming triumphs.

Seemingly, little is being done to help these women financially so that they can stop being prostitutes. In fact, many have simply ended up in jail. The usual response to these stories is to turn up one’s morally superior nose and say that "there must have been another way to find the money." But all that these women were trying to do, just like Senator Brown, was pay for school. They want to be productive members of society. Many of those trying to attend law school would probably love to run for public office some...
