While we're on the topic of Final Clubs, here's a little tidbit of news. Tonight, Harvard undergraduates found fliers with the following text under their doors, reminiscent of Final Club punch invitations:

“You’re Invited to Join Us in…

NOT joining a Final Club

NOT attending Final Club parties

Taking a stand and demanding changes in Harvard’s social space”

The fliers advertise a meeting scheduled for next Friday, Oct. 15, in the Dunster JCR. The only other identifying information included is this e-mail address, finalclubcampaign@gmail.com. Intrigued? Watch us for updates.
