...University freshmen to hometown heroes, Guster embarked on a citywide tour of Boston last Friday, presenting a series of free performances. Perhaps the most exciting of these appearances took place in the Boston Museum of Science’s Charles Hayden Planetarium and included a multimedia spectacle in the vein of a vintage laser Pink Floyd show. The planetarium was an appropriate venue given the title of the band’s new album, “Ganging Up on the Sun,” which features the single “Satellite.” Having vacillated between...
...this same vein, I am willing to wager that the reason many women choose not to run for the UC is not because they are blatantly discouraged from doing so by their male counterparts, but because they would just rather not involve themselves in the "sausage-fest of the year." This begs the question: Why don’t more women run for the UC? Overt sexism is on the decline in the Harvard community.

This "root-cause" exploration of conflict is much different than Regensburg's search at the heart of religion for the source of violence. It is also a very different tone than his meeting with German Muslims last...
...government.”The only way for the UC to spark change, then, is to apply pressure to the administration and directly to faculty members in any manner possible. The UC has a critical role not only in “student life” in the vein of the fun czar, but also in “student life” in the sense of our undergraduate education. We expect the candidates for president and vice president to address these twin responsibilities seriously and hopefully with some exciting new ideas. Fixing Harvard, not the UC, should...
