...Wellesley incident, along with residential reports of public urination and throwing trash onto parked cars from the roof of the fraternity house, led the licensing board to call SAE members to appear at a hearing. Daniel F. Polaski, chair of the Boston City Licensing Board, is a self-described "big fan of fraternity houses in the city of Boston." One might have thought that SAE had a pretty solid chance of escaping with a slap on the wrist. While the other complaints against SAE remain relatively disregarded, however, SAE's main offense in the eyes of the board has become...

Pressed to name other responsibilities--apart from the overwhelming burden of carrying out both the trash and the garbage--Mansfield responds curtly. "I'm not going to list them all. Either it would be boasting, or it would be holding me up to ridicule...
Getting students to fully release the amazing library resources steps from our houses and first-year dorms is a great goal. It is not achieved with carpet-bombed public relations packages that look like gifts, but end up in the trash or under stacks of paper that will later become trash. Because the Library failed to consider its audience, the package came off as awkward at best. To many, it was a sign (as if another were needed) that at Harvard, money comes first, followed later by a vague idea of the existence of undergraduates...
