Beginning this fall, upperclassmen will be able to swipe into freshman dormitories, thanks to an initiative proposed by the Undergraduate Council (UC) and approved by campus administrators this week...
...Primal Scream was just what it claimed to be. “It was really more about the yelling. People would go out in the Yard or open their windows and just yell.” Though the young vocal chords of freshmen were usually the most strained, some upperclassmen held on to the tradition. “When I moved to the Quad as an undergrad, there was a localized primal scream which involved, again, very little nakedness, if any,” Selby says.

Previously, first-years were able only to obtain free condoms from peer counseling groups Room 13 and Contact, which have offices in the Yard, condom boxes in the upperclassmen Houses, or from University Health Services (UHS). The dispensers were...
