MR. HANGING-OUT-FREE-TIME?

After forgoing the 8 a.m. Committee on College Life (CCL) meeting, Glazer attends a CCL subcommittee meeting to discuss the Harvard social scene.

Luckily for Glazer, there were sandwiches and cookies at the meeting, since he frequently opts for work in lieu of meals. He eats Balance Bars and energy drinks—at least one a day—to compensate, and often has to think for a while before answering whether he has eaten or not.

While Glazer advocates for an improved social scene on campus, he has little time for unstructured fun himself.

“He was never Mr. Hanging-out-free-time,” Golis says. “He’s never been someone who wasn’t always busy.”

“I do miss time with my friends,” Glazer says before quickly adding that he loves being UC president. He had to forgo a trip to the Dominican Republic over Intercession to prepare for his rise to the presidency.

“Just on a day-to-day thing you miss a lot of those interactions. Like my roommates will sit around and have like a two-hour debate on the military or something.”

Chadbourne waits for Glazer at the UC office in Holworthy, where the pair seem to converse in a secret code of acronyms: RUS, HUDS, UHS, CCL, CUE, SAC.

Later, Chadbourne—who says he talks to Glazer more than his mother—says that one of the best things about having Glazer as president is his caring personal attention to UC members and his humbleness despite being UC president.

“You can tell that he’s really comfortable with being who he is and doing his thing. I mean, he hasn’t even changed his voicemail message,” Chadbourne says.

The voicemail message in question—“Hey, tubby, answer the phone and then do yourself a favor and get a new haircut”—is a last remnant of normalcy in an otherwise UC-dominated world.

“I don’t want to get rid of it because I’ve had it for so long and I think it’s really funny,” Glazer says, adding that he might change it to be more professional. “My inbox is always full because I save certain messages and it just keeps filling up.”

When some UC members talk about their president, they share a sense of confused but admiring disbelief at how much Glazer cares about improving student life at Harvard.

“That’s what he’s all about,” Vice-president Nichols says of Glazer. But, Nichols adds, he “knows how to have fun when the time is right. He’s a funny guy, too. Good old Starglazer.”
