...would like to thank the staff of The Harvard Crimson for continuing to keep the topics of veganism and animal rights in the headlines ("Feminist Calls for Veganism," Apr. 29, 2010). This school year alone, your newspaper has printed no less than five separate articles documenting the shift in the student population toward a meatless diet. From potluck dinner reviews to a story on the high-profile "Is Eating Animals Ethical?" debate last fall with People for Ethical Treatment of Animals Vice President Bruce Friedrich, the prevalence of these discussions on veganism and animal rights underscores a larger nationwide trend...
...change" ("Rethinking Meat," Sep. 16, 2010). Harvard students are equally horrified when they discover that the abuse that farmed animals face in today's industrial meat production—including being castrated without being given any painkillers and having their throats cut while they're still conscious—would warrant cruelty-to-animals charges if the cats or dogs who share our homes were the victims...
...Champagne Brunch this past month because I remembered the experience of eating in Annenberg vividly.

I thought that I would be able to console myself by buying a Class of 2010 coffee mug, but it had been sold out. I realized then that the senior class officers weren't kidding: the other senior items—those purchasable memories—were going to sell out, and soon...
Each senior event, carefully designed to encapsulate a memory, was going to disappear faster than used textbooks at the Coop. Memories were going to sell quickly, because each senior who recognized that his time at Harvard was valuable and that it would end soon, would rush to eat in every dining hall, attend every “last lecture,” and buy every item of senior class merchandise. During the weekend of the Champagne Brunch, I realized that hoarding and buying Harvard memories in the form of extracurriculars, events, and mugs is misguided...
Even if I could defy the laws of physics and participate in every Harvard extracurricular, I wouldn't want to, because it would mean straying from the extracurricular niche I had found and loved after months of wandering. It would mean denying the value of having a number of extracurricular options so dizzying that it forces us to make choices and find our place here. After speaking with Daily Princetonian editors at the Georges Conference last month, I learned that several of us carve out our college niches by remaining loyal to the activities we loved...
