Sextalk Offers Advice to Inexperienced Harvard Students, Gray-Haired Alumnus

Last night, Harvard’s Peer Contraceptive Counselors (PCC) held an open discussion on all things sex. Aptly titled “Sextalk: How to get what you want (in bed),” the event was designed to give attendees a forum to discuss sensitive issues with like-minded peers.

 

Of course, the forum, while open to everyone, was intended for undergraduates—the un...

The Self-Proclaimed "Britney Spears of Harvard" Releases New Music Video

Outside of Harvard, few have probably heard of Peter Shields, who performs under the moniker Petros -- but for a good reason.

 

You see, our male Britney’s popularity has unfortunately—or fortunately, depending on one’s love for all things tacky, wacky pop—been confined to a remote, desolate sector of Youtube.

 

Thankfully, it’s never too late t...

Harvard Declares State of Emergency, Endowment Plunges 22 Percent in Four Months

In the span of four months, Harvard’s $36.9 billion endowment, which is currently the largest in the world, fell by 22 percent, or roughly $8 billion.

 

Eight. Billion. Dollars.

Harvard Crushes Yale (Again), Alcohol Flows at Annual Tailgate

For the second year in a row, the Harvard Crimson dominated the Yale Bulldogs, shutting out their longtime rivals 10-0 in the 125th edition of the Game.

 

Of course, this result should come as a surprise to no one, especially after Yale’s 37-6 beating last year. Even those wearing the tacky blue-and-white sweaters must admit that it was wholly e...

Tomorrow is the big day, everyone!

 

The Harvard Crimson will go head-to-head with the Yale Bulldogs in a battle for Ivy League supremacy and yearlong bragging rights.

Harvard Student Celebrates 21st B-day by Stealing Econ Homework, Sexually Assaulting a Girl

Turning 21 is a milestone in a person’s life. While some celebrate it by exercising their newly acquired right to consume alcohol, others christen the occasion with less acceptable forms of celebration: breaking and entering, theft and assault.

 

Last Thursday, Mario G. Garcia ’09 hit—what should have been—a high point in his otherwise ho-hum li...

Harvard Draconian Alcohol Policy Under Review, Hope Springs Eternal Amongst Students

There’s no fun allowed at Harvard – well, at least none that involves the consumption of alcohol in or around campus.

 

The crux of the matter is that the administration implemented an amnesty policy that makes organizers responsible for anyone and everyone who becomes intoxicated at their event. And so, no one planning a party at Harvard wants ...
