...months, 15,000 people have joined a weight-loss website founded by four Harvard alums. The site, Traineo.com, lets users track what they eat and what they do to exercise. It also calculates the number of calories they burn and gauges their progress. Traineo CEO Aladair McLean-Foreman ’05 said the site’s users include “loads of college students.” McLean-Foreman, along with schoolmates Jennifer Y. Lee ’04, James J.

The UC has no substantial say on the big issues that engage the hearts and minds of Harvard students. It takes no position of real weight on how much money our wealthy University offers to students or workers. It expresses only nominal support for popular causes, such as Take Back the Night.The UC can do nothing to protest against the College when it makes dubious decisions like the no-alcohol policy at this year’s Harvard...
