Although there is only speculation on the causes of the increase in hospitalizations and drinking behavior, Harvard’s attitude toward alcohol leads to unsafe drinking habits for undergraduates. Often, students feel the need to consume large amounts of alcohol quickly at pregames before going out, as the availability of alcohol at events on campus is scarce. The College maintains a strict policy of prohibiting those under 21 from drinking at parties in upperclass houses. In response, students often flock to unsafe and unmonitored locations to drink, such as final clubs. Instead of acting as though underage drinking does...
Ultimately, however, this year’s BAF emphasized the individual experience as its central theme. In the spirit of “Sankofa,” the art featured at the festival drew heavily upon artists’ personal narratives and how those experiences pointed them toward the future. Whether it was Baraka reminiscing about the racial politics of the 1960s, or student poets spitting verses about their aspirations, this year’s BAF brought personal histories to the forefront as a means of moving forward...

Some signs of old age emerged—guitarist Scott Kannberg revealed on his blog that at their first show back, frontman Stephen...
...assortment follows no chronological order and spans the entire length of their career, though it is—somewhat unsurprisingly—heavily weighted toward the catalog from 1992 through 1994. This emphasis on the early part of their career is not in itself problematic, but one marvels at the omission of, for instance, epic “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain” opener “Silence Kid,” when five other songs from that album are featured, including the pretty but slight “Heaven is a Truck.” Likewise, though many...
