...senior captain Julie Chu said. “Hopefully there’s a lot more hockey to be played after this weekend.”Both Chu and fellow captain Jennifer Sifers expressed mixed emotions going into their final weekend of regular season play in a Harvard uniform. “There’s a lot of emotions attached to it,” Chu said, “primarily because I’ve had such an incredible experience here at Harvard. Any time a chapter like that closes in your life, there’s going...

The EVR exhibit, set in the Sert Gallery, appears something like your everyday movie rental store. The movies are stacked on shelves in uniform white cases with descriptions, and there are televisions and VCRs playing movies about the room. You can pick a movie and watch it there, or even check out two videos at a time for up to two days, free of charge. The Blockbuster-esque layout presented a problem...
