What should we do about it? By HUNTER RICHARDS This strike has gone on for two weeks, which directly equates to too long. But if college taught me anything, it is how to be resourceful. And by resourceful, I mostly mean use the fact that I have enough Midwestern charm (and cleavage) to get […]
Getting comfortable in the kitchen. In light of the recent strike, I have become much more cognizant of how I go about feeding myself. The dire d-hall situation has forced me to think about what life will be like without access to a dining hall at all—when I am an adult… (dun dun dun). While […]
Thought you had it bad with the HUDS strike? Think again. As Harvard students confront the lack of food options on campus, they may be confronting first hand what it meant to be a Muslim on campus before 2015. In light of the HUDS strike, students across the campus have raised concerns about about the […]
As week two of HUDS strike comes to a close, no deal in sight. As of yesterday, Harvard University Dining Services workers will have been striking for one week.

The talk of food instability for some caused understandable stress, but the mere mention of food created this nagging feeling in my gut much worse than […]
Harvard-Cornell and its comparisons. On Saturday afternoon, as I sat in the cool concrete stands of Harvard Stadium, my father texted me a photograph and a message. At the photo’s center was the University of Texas Longhorn Band, the “Showband of the Southwest” incarnate, marching across the green turf of the Cotton Bowl. They marched […]
An interview with BlackC.A.S.T. director. Darius Johnson ’18 just wrapped up their fourth show here at Harvard—the second they’ve directed. As president of the Harvard Black Community and Student Theatre Group (BlackC.A.S.T.) and director of Songs of the Harlem River, they’ve played a huge role in shaping theatre in the black community on campus.

Reflections from an open mic. The tables in Barker Café are draped with an array of pride flags: Gay, bi, trans, ace, genderqueer. Soft jazz music plays in the background. The lights are low. The Harvard College Office of BGLTQ Student Life’s annual National Coming Out Day open mic is called “Narratives of Outness and […]
