The Harvard University Police Department released its “2025 Annual Security Report” on Oct. 1, containing data from 2022, 2023, and 2024. The institution’s Cambridge Campus saw an overall decline across violent and hate-motivated crimes since 2023. “Together, the Department and the community can work to create an environment free from the distraction of criminal activity […]
In just four months, the American comedy world has been shaken. On Sept. 17, ABC briefly suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, and in July 2025, CBS announced the cancellation of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” These moves sparked concern among comedians worldwide about the narrowing space for political satire and the erosion of free speech. […]
The ground is shifting quickly beneath the feet of immigrants, their families, and the lawyers who represent them. Since Jan. 20, 2025, immigrants in Los Angeles, Boston, and other major United States cities have faced a sharply altered law enforcement landscape as the Trump administration and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement expand interior operations and […]
Laura. Pérez. Cremer. When I turned 14, I began to feel a visceral rejection towards my first surname: Pérez. In Spain, every citizen’s ID includes both surnames—usually the father’s first, the mother’s second. In most cases, it is that of the mother’s which is left in second place.

It starts with a story. Two teenage girls in a quiet suburban house whisper about a cursed videotape—one that kills anyone who watches it seven days after viewing. They laugh, half-believing, half-scared, until one admits she’s already seen it. That night, the curse keeps its promise. I first saw “The Ring” in high school and […]

A 35-page research paper, a chapter from a book written in 19th-century jargon, and a seemingly endless textbook excerpt on convoluted theory.

Founded in 1993, HBC is a student-led organization featuring classical […]
Boston gave us another Oktoberfest weekend, and we showed up in dirndls, ready to take notes. Same crew (plus Schwanz), same voice recorder, same questionable ideas. This time, our mission was simple: every beer is a sex position. By last call at Lamplighter Brewing Company, we had gathered enough material to offend at least three […]
As fall settles over Cambridge and the air turns crisp, life slowly moves indoors. Patio dinners fade away, the days get shorter, and most importantly, the season of the best food arrives. For those of us in college, we are no longer privy to homemade apple pies and the wonderful bliss of nostalgic kitchen aromas, […]
On the evening of Oct. 4, Sanders Theater was filled with tuning notes as the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra stepped onto the stage, welcoming the buzzing crowd of students and locals eager for their first performance of the year—notably the orchestra’s first appearance since its suspension. The orchestra was suspended for the rest of the fall semester […]
