Clearly, the administration and HUDS should work to find the most cost-effective way to expand student dining options.

...Wednesday, the Harvard men’s squash team was poised to ride the momentum and finally claim the CSA Championship. The Crimson blew through the opening round, easily handling Western Ontario in a 9-0 victory. But on Saturday, Harvard encountered a team that has been a thorn in its side this season.

To get back at him, DA made PB&Js for Peter’s lunch, but he used the crunchy peanut butter. One would think that after thirteen years, DA would...

We were worried that she was going to drop the class, but when we followed her, we discovered she had only gone to drop a brown Hindenburg in the Science Center bathroom. Every rose has its thorn, and some thorns stink so bad we had to pull the fire alarm. Oh, the humanity. Our search for the perfect woman continued in Historical Study B-24: “Utopia in the Age of the Scientific Revolution.” Even though the course isn’t offered this...
