...promote promiscuity. I read that on the Internet, which means that it is true. If you don’t think that’s enough proof, here’s something for you, Mr. Skeptical: Although CVS sells over a dozen different brands of diapers, it sells exactly zero Bibles. You would think they would at least have the decency to offer a different option for teenagers who might not have completely fallen to the wiles of Satan, but CVS is clearly only interested in providing more sustenance for the sexual feeding-frenzy that is our nation?...
...most exciting I’ve ever seen.There’s the back and forth of bow balls as two neck-and-neck crews approach the catch at different times. There’s the furious start from dead in the water, when boats go from zero to 50 strokes per minute in five flicks of an oar. And there’s often a concerted push at the midway point, as crews prepare to enter the brutal third 500 meters on a high note—and with some distance between opposing boats. Tenths of seconds change races...
...waterways: concepts like these are fundamental to developing a mature perspective on global affairs. Without a strong core of geographic knowledge, analyzes of international events tend to be myopic at best and provincial at worst. Yet Harvard’s course catalog continues to feature a grand total of zero courses in the subject. If Harvard is to have any sort of meaningful core curriculum—one which must aim to create informed, global citizens—then the inclusion of a survey course in world geography is absolutely essential.

...party suites. Nearly every house has one. Some have several. These are the great social spaces of Harvard, with their huge common-rooms and accompanying perks, such as built-in bars and kegerators. Pforzheimer House has the Belltower. Currier House has the Ten-Man. Eliot House has Ground Zero. During the day, they are, ideally, informal hangout spaces for other house residents. By night, they host parties that have drawn sweaty undergrads from all over campus. Traditionally, lotteries distribute the party suites in a random fashion. But this had led to less-than-satisfactory arrangements. We can all think...
Students will be allowed to get minors based on completely arbitrary reasons, such as how many core classes they happened to take in freshman year. And since many things at Harvard—from admissions to recruiting—are a zero-sum game, an innovation this late is unfair, as it arbitrarily privileges some students over others. Secondary fields should not apply to any students currently at the College...
