Based on my dealings with the administration and recent events, it seems that the College’s new attitude is more and more reminiscent of the cantankerous and unreasonable Dean Wormer from “Animal House,” who was ready to put wayward fraternities on “double-secret probation” without cause. The Crimson was far from a Delta House-esque nest of iniquity and hazing, but the fact that we are frequently being treated as such makes me think that the College is wasting time and resources in policing innocent events that...
...collection. Rather, the most riveting moments in “Wait” come from Williams’ autobiographical ruminations, which give his reader glimpses of the past out of which this careful, quiet poetic personality has evolved. Though it is hard to imagine this wise voice as a wayward student, in one poem, Williams disparagingly describes the self of his school days: “I was an indifferent student; I fidgeted, / daydreamed, didn’t do my homework, didn’t / as my teachers often said, apply myself...

While euro-zone nations use the same currency, there is no mechanism in place to financially aid wayward members. That's how a crisis in Greece, which represents a mere 2.8% of the zone's GDP, can have such an outsized impact. The ultimate fear is that Greece will default, dragging down the euro with it. "A lot of the euro's problems today are rooted in those members having failed...
