...read girly magazines. Elle, Jane, Cosmo --they sit on the supermarket racks while I zoom through the express lane. Sure, I used to peruse the pages of Seventeen during slumber parties--but I never bought my own subscription. Magazines like these, I thought, just market insecurity. Feeling unattractive? All you need is that new shade of lipstick from L'Oreal. Boyfriend not treating you right? Try this new diet; he'll be eating out of your hand.

...have thought that RUS doesn't affect you, but it does and it needs your help. Without Radcliffe, what will happen to us? The Harvard-Radcliffe merger has affected more groups on campus than anyone realizes. And none of these groups were contacted during negotiations; not RUS, not our partners, not even administrators in Radcliffe Undergraduate Programs. We were not considered in the course of arrangements to merge the two schools because we as undergraduates don't seem to matter to Harvard administrators...
