Yardfest 2012 Draws Lackluster Crowd
When the three-man group Das Racist took the stage, overlooking the Harvard students gathered at YardFest in Tercentenary Theater, they offered a greeting that perhaps has not been yelled from the steps of Memorial Church before.
Common Spaces Program Returns to Yard
With the return of cheerful, multicolored chairs to the Yard and a line-up of lively performances by Harvard community members and outside artists, The Harvard Common Spaces Program launched last week for the 2012 season.
Lattes and Laptops
On bad-weather days, the inside of the Gato is packed and one is often hard-pressed to find a seat. The small tables and prevalence of laptops often means sharing a table with a new friend, or searching for a new location.
Task Force on Student Voice Solicits Input
Next week, students will have the opportunity to participate in two focus groups that will inform the work of the Task Force on Student Voice, a newly created committee which aims to enhance communication between students, faculty, and staff at Harvard.
Coffee and a Smile
Offering cool drink specials like "the Undertow" or the "Honey Badger Latte", the baristas at the Gato put a cool spin on coffee and tea. Customers can choose from a wide selection of black and green teas in addition to customizing their own lattes with different milks and flavor syrups.
YardFest
YardFest. A hopefully clear sky looks down on a mingling of sweat, mud, and sound. Harvard Yard contains a stage surrounded by everyone from freshmen to seniors. Above, first-years perch precariously on the windowsills of Matthews and Weld, cheering as the performers finish each song. Kind of. Anyway, in just two days students will crowd into the Yard to hear The Nostalgics, Das Racist, 3LAU, and The Cataracts on stage. But until then, here are 10 pump-up songs to get you ready.
Dr. Henry Kissinger speaks to an at-capacity crowd in Sanders Theatre. Dr. Kissinger, a world-renowned political thinker, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Secretary of State under Presidents Reagan and Ford, discussed many topics, ranging from the political relations between the U.S. and China to his life as a Harvard student under the GI Bill.
Controversial Conversations with Kissinger
Members of the Cambridge community protest Dr. Kissinger's political record at his speech in Sanders Theatre. These protesters, taking fault in decisions made under Dr. Kissinger's guidance during the Vietnam War, distributed flyers accusing Dr. Kissinger of war crimes. One protester was escorted from the premises at the beginning of the event when he attempted to make a citizen's arrest.
Messages of 'LOVE' Featured in the Science Center
Boards covered in Post-It notes have appeared in the Science Center lobby, entreating passersby to scribble down something they love.

Mather Joins the Adams-Currier-Pfoho Melée
In a conflict which has expanded in the course of a single day to involve an unprecedented three Houses, a fourth House has now joined the alliance against Adams House.

Pfoho Clarifies Position in Adams-Currier Kerfuffle
In a not-altogether-unsurprising turn of events, Pforzheimer House announced its position on the recent outbreak of war between Adams and Currier Houses. In the so-called "Mario Doctrine," named after Pforzheimer Building Manager and "Secretary of Depfense" Mario Leon and modeled on the Monroe Doctrine, Pforzheimer residents outlined that they "will not tolerate expansionist efforts from any River House."
BREAKING: Adams Declares War on Currier
A state of war exists between the Quad and the River. Last night, in response to a sabotage of the Adams House mascot poll by students in Currier House, Adams House suspended its poll and declared war on Currier.
