DARTBOARD

A summary of views, commentary and sometimes comedy.

"The incident reflects the fact that human beings, are very,very imperfect people," he says.Sir,is that imperfect or incompetent?

"And reflects the fact that if somebody in a position of power does something phenomenally stupid it can have disastrous consequences," he continues. Wait a minute, the editor of the Salient is a "position of power." I guess my dog's in a position of power as well.

Bruce's delusions of grandeur aside, we at Dartboard must say we enjoyed watching Bruce and Harvard's own wannabe Corrupt Politician Randall A. Fine '96 scramble and dissemble in an attempt to keep the Salient from seeing the light of day. Perhaps they should try that for next issue as well.   Steven A. Engel

THE BEER FLOWS FREELY HERE

Oh, the Undergraduate Council.The poor, poor Undergraduate Council. The amount of verve they put into running their circuses really makes our hearts here at Dartboard bleed. This time, though, we have to give them credit for effort. The council is like the little train that could--it huffed and puffed, and negotiated at length with the Administration and with the city of Cambridge to be able to serve free beer at its recent Springfest. And it did! The MAC Quad was drowning in free beer last Saturday for all those who would care to indulge. Too bad we didn't.

Council member Rudd W. Coffey '97, with unbridled befuddlement, lamented the left-over keggers: "I was expecting a lot more people to be psyched for free beer." So were we, Rudd. So were we. Just goes to show you that what Harvard students expect from its student government isn't free beer and pop music on the lawn. It's a real mandate, some real accountability, and our favorite council members in a dunk-tank on the lawn.   Patrick S. Chung
