There are some things in life that are undeniably enjoyable: ice cream on a warm day, money with which to throw parties and, of course, concise club names. But some students have lost sight of this last one, choosing names that leave their clubs with unfortunate acronyms or throwing in unnecessary words to achieve cutesy backronyms. Either way, FM (note: only two letters) presents the fifteen worst, and occasionally fictional, in its mission to shame people into better club names. 1) Harvard College Chinese Chess Club (HCCCC) 2) Youth Alliance for Leadership and Development in Africa (YALDA) 3) Mental Health...

The Crimson, meanwhile, moved to the Big Red 1-yard line with 9:23 remaining in the fourth...

Hammer-throw! I got to know Justin Gatlin at those trials, and smiled in disbelief when he won the 100-meter sprint in Athens. Just 22 years old, charismatic, and most importantly, clean. Or so I thought. Two years later, Gatlin was busted for doping, and he is now serving an eight-year ban. And Friday Jones pled guilty to lying to federal agents about...
