...John “J.P.” Stilz ’11 cleans out his car Friday morning in preparation for the team’s imminent departure for Ithaca, and he discovers an uneaten hamburger in the backseat. A tattered, yellowed copy of “Typology of the Racehorse” lies on top of boots and gear, all reeking of barn musk. His car is a “nice compost pile,” Stilz says...
...Wigglesworth common room last night, a portion of patriotic streamer fell off the wall and hung limply as a group of freshmen watched the election returns on television.

One needn’t spend even a minute in an Ec 10 lecture to know why: there is simply no cost to you for taking far more than you can eat, nibbling at some of it, and then taking it—in a heap—to the tray return...
