...arrive in Israel on July 30 were notified less than a week before departure that their trip had been canceled. This October, the program—funded by the full-funding Netivot Fellowship—sought out a new round of applicants for the upcoming “Winter Journey.” Because of the short duration of Harvard’s winter recess, the trip was shortened one week, according to Simon. Two out of the 28 participants selected for the program were not Jewish by heritage. Students from other schools, including Barnard College and Wellesley College, were...
...cross cockroach elimination off of their reading period to-do lists. It was Alpert’s suggestion that spurred the circulation of pest surveys to Lowell House residents last Tuesday. The results of the survey will be used to help direct pest prevention measures in Lowell over winter break. Such measures, Alpert said, will include inspection of areas in the House where students have reported pest encounters. The survey asks students to identify locations where they have sighted cockroaches, ants, or mice, as well as the dates of those sightings. Inspections will focus particularly on drains in areas...
Looking to get to Logan Airport tomorrow? You’ll have one less option than last year. For the past 15 years, the Undergraduate Council (UC) has provided airport shuttles for Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks for $5 per person.

This decision resulted in the elimination of airport shuttles this school year. We fully supported cutting CLC, but now the UC needs to find a new way to provide a few valuable student services...
Airport shuttles have been popular since they were first offered in 1991. But the UC has never been exceptionally good at organizing them. Complaints of late, absent, and overbooked shuttles have been accumulating for 10 years. Last winter, in a particularly bad case of mismanagement, the UC had to deny spots to ticket-holding students because there was not enough space on the buses, leaving many students rushing to make their flights...
...secret thorn in the side of low-income Harvard students. They are otherwise supported remarkably well by financial aid: the Financial Aid Initiative covers full tuition, room, and board for all students with family incomes under $60,000; Harvard provides lower-income freshmen from warm climates $200 for winter clothing; the Student Events Fund guarantees lower-income students free tickets to campus events. But, other than student loans, Harvard provides no assistance for purchasing books. Somehow, the micro-managing institution that can give me free tickets to a foam party is unwilling to help me buy an economics textbook...
