Over multiple nights last semester, members of the Harvard-Radcliffe Asian American Association (AAA) thumbed through the College’s yearbooks from 1974 to 2005 to tag students who looked to be of Asian or Asian American descent. Their goal? To build a list of Asian and Asian American alumni to invite for their first ever reunion, which took place Saturday night in Dudley House. Since the College does not record ethnic identity in its alumni files, the group followed this strategy which was first employed by the Black Students Association to build its own invitation list, according...
...send Americans back to the moon and onto Mars. Those bold goals-which NASA estimates it could achieve by 2018 and 2030, respectively-would at last free the nation of the 25-year drudgery of the shuttle program. The idea raised eyebrows--not least because of its price tag, distant target dates and suspicious initial timing, at the start of the 2004 election cycle. In the two years since, however, funding has been forthcoming and design work has begun, with aerodynamic testing on scale models under way at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.

The Crimson gave up a buzzer-beater to Brown at home, got pummeled by Dartmouth in the Ivy opener and the Ivy Finale, threw a game away against the Tigers and came out sluggish against Penn twice. Only two times...
...worked with school administrators for years trying to convince them that the pungent stench of 5,000 dirty college students hampers the school’s ability to top the U.S. News & World Report annual college report. Even though administrators finally caved in January to the $100,000 price tag of providing soap in all bathrooms, Yalies are nicknamed Bulldogs not just for their impetuousness and pudgy looks: the smell hasn’t disappeared, and neither has our title as number...
