While it may be true that the "Camp Harvard" (as The Crimson puts it) that we are attending is different in many ways from the experience of a year-round college student, it is also true that we are as much a part of the University as anyone else...
...Vegas has prospered by becoming a year-round vacation spot for middle- class families, who typically stay as long as a week. By contrast, Atlantic City appeals largely to bettors who arrive by bus and leave the same day.

...make your statement with what you have.

Most restaurants featuring natural food concede that they are hard pressed to offer a 100% organic menu year-round. The best they can hope for is 80% to 90% during the spring and summer months, when local farms are in full bloom; in winter the percentage can slip below 50%. Running an organic restaurant presents other problems. The hours are longer than the average restaurant's, and the drill is more tedious. Menus can change daily, depending on what is available.
