Student Life

Despite Wednesday evening’s enfeebled river run, students displayed the same unfettered exuberance as in previous years when they awoke early the next morning for Housing Day.

About 30 students dine together around at a long wooden table every night at 6:30 p.m., helping themselves to communal dishes of homemade vegetarian cuisine and freshly baked bread.

Dean of Harvard College Evelynn M. Hammonds released yesterday the official report of the Committee to Review the Administrative Board, which recommends a holistic reform of the College’s primary disciplinary body.

Despite threats of disciplinary action against freshmen seeking to appease the River Gods, some members of the Class of 2013 nevertheless decided to celebrate Housing Day Eve with gusto.

Housing Day Eve and its rituals came a day early this year for a few enthusiastic freshmen afraid of incurring the wrath of both the River Gods and the College administration, which had warned the Class of 2013 the police would be monitoring unsafe activity along the river Wednesday night.

Harvard students just can’t get enough of that Old Spice commercial these days. Not only has Dunster spoofed it for their Housing Day vid, the senior gift video brigade also turned it into one of three clips urging seniors to each donate $10 to the annual senior gift fund.
