...College could simply include a meal allowance in its financial aid packages. Perhaps the most potent possible objection to such a program is that it might disrupt the bustling nexus of House community. While the number of people eating in the dining halls would probably decrease if our unfair meal plan were eliminated, the increased quality of food and service should draw back many students tempted by Pinocchio’s, perhaps, or any of its Harvard Square competitors. The high turnout in dining halls today is no testament to House spirit; instead it reflects a system that gives students...

...sexual contact with another male, even once, since 1977,” or are female and have had sexual contact with a male of that description. The American Red Cross has no choice but to enforce FDA restrictions. This restriction, however, is not only an unfair “lifetime deferral,” but is also built on a decades-old stereotype and is no longer statistically viable or medically warranted. The FDA should remove or rephrase its restrictions, and men who have had sex with men should not be prevented from donating blood. When the FDA first introduced...

...this system is a little bit crazy," says one French private-equity investor who has lived in London for over 15 years. "It's been a bonanza time for nondoms - like Christmas every day." But here comes the Grinch. Spurred on by mounting criticism over what many see as unfair special treatment for rich foreigners, the British Treasury has announced that the fun is over. Along with a new 18% flat rate for capital-gains tax, the government is proposing an annual fee of around $60,000 for any foreigner who lives in the country for more than seven years...

...most outrageous roadblock to youth voting is that many college students’ votes come at an unfair price—a postage price to be exact. With the exception of residents of four states, students living outside of their registered district—many college students fall under this category—will be forced to pay postage on their absentee ballots. Only Hawaii, Minnesota, Nevada and West Virginia pay the return address for an absentee ballot. So what’s the problem with the systems in the other 46 states? Confusion and ambiguity plague the process...
