...current recall process is particularly ridiculous. The ballot will have two questions. The first will be yea or nay on Gray Davis; the second will be a list of candidates--not including Davis--to replace him. Davis might lose the governorship with 49% of the vote and be replaced by Candidate X with 10%. There will be dozens, perhaps hundreds, of candidates. All it takes is $3,000 and 150 signatures to get on the ballot. Larry Flynt of Hustler Magazine has declared. Both millionaire Michael Huffington and his egregious ex-wife Arianna may run. Darrell Issa is running; William...

Balancing overcrowding fears with the threat of being in the crowd that gets unceremoniously thrown out the door, these first-years should vote yea or nay, whether dining hall segregation should be a relic of the past...
...result will be an overwhelming yea. This is justice we’re talking about after all, and much like a true red-blooded Harvardian’s view of success in the world outside the gates, the brandy-sipping elites in Adams have won their privileges through no merits of their own. Once the walls of the country club are toppled, and once dirty non-Adamsian fingers have tainted the sterling silver platters of popcorn chicken, Dartboard has another idea: progressive tuition brackets, based on house affiliation, of course.
