Gender equality demands that women should not be defined by their sexuality, but by their characteristics and achievements. Harvard women have accomplished much in a wide range of non-gender related roles, and Women Week’s attempt to reduce these achievements to “women’s issues” frankly detracts from their status as equal citizens. While female-focused activities are not necessarily a bad thing—organizations such as Women in Business and the Circle of Women, for example, enable real impact—Women’s Week seems to solely...
...part of a University-wide trend to share intellectual property, Harvard Kennedy School faculty voted overwhelmingly last week to allow open access for all scholarly articles written by faculty. The change—which took effect immediately after a vote at a faculty meeting last Tuesday—means that all faculty will permit the Kennedy School to distribute their articles through DASH (Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard) repository, which is an online database currently being developed by the Office for Scholarly Communication.

...quite recent invention. Prior to the late ’60s, it was primarily used by Southern senators seeking to block civil-rights legislation.

That number has grown steadily since, thanks to both Republicans and Democrats. The latest Congress filibustered 112 times, 51 of which were successful. The institutionalization of the filibuster...

Armed with a single Harvard Mail Service dolly, two of my adoptive Dunster “blockmates” and I rolled my six-foot-long black pleather Chesterfield-esque foldout couch to my new home. With such a wide load, we literally took to the streets, navigating Brattle and Mt. Auburn Streets amidst honking cars and gaping pedestrians. I loved being a spectacle, pushing this symbol of permanence to my friends’ digs. This sofa would be my bed for the next nine months. The move-in continued gradually...
...your floor (or in your building, for that matter), and the likelihood that you’ll be living adjacent to someone who’s either genuinely crazy (or a sex maniac) might deflate your excitement. Upperclassmen have more to look forward to, as Cabot has a wide variety of spacious suites. But with an interior design scheme conceivably chosen by former resident Helen Keller, Cabot’s social spaces leave much to be desired...
