Say Yes to Drugs, Tear Down This Wall!
This afternoon, two Say Yes to Drugs campaigners stopped by The Crimson to warn us that they were about to do something epic. We'd better get a picture of this, they told us. They were going to tear down a brick wall. But when we strolled by Massachusetts Hall to check out the protest, the scene was slightly less than epic. The demonstrators, organized by members of the Universities Allied for Essential Medicines, rallied for fair access to generic medicine in developing countries. That was it. Or was it?

Yale Bash with Pance Party!
Attention Harvard students: You are cordially invited to the Dance Party with Pance Party this Friday, Nov. 20, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at…well...yeah…Yale. The party’s at Yale’s Commons, which basically seems to be a less-Hogwartsy Annenberg with a more cheerful kitchen staff. Oh, come on. You know you want to go. It’s not like it’s that much more of a schlep once you’ve already manned up and gone all the way down to New Haven. There won't be any alcohol, but don't lie—you'll probably be drunk already anyway. And admission is FREE.

Sped Up to a Crawl?
Get the skinny in today's Crimson about how Laura E. D’Asaro ’13 crawled the fastest mile ever to be crawled. Beginning on a track in high school, with bubble wrap and duct tape protecting her limbs, D'Asaro began her climb to glory-on-all-fours. Hit the jump for a video and an inside look at how she made it happen.
Love @ctually?
<p>Harvard is like Hogwarts in so many ways—we’ve got the house system, we’ve got Annenberg, we’ve even got Quidditch—but one thing notoriously absent is any form of love potion. </p> <p> </p> <p>Harvard is known for a lot of things, but for better of for worse, a thriving dating scene is not one of them. </p> <p> </p> <p>Sanyee Yuan ’12 hopes to change all this with the new-and-improved second season of Harvard’s premiere dating show, “Love@Harvard.” </p> <p> </p> <p>“Upperclassmen always say freshman year was the best for meeting people and the dating scene becomes a little nonexistent after that,” said Yuan, the host and executive producer of the show. “When people talk about their futures here, they talk about concentrations and jobs, never about finding a significant other.” </p> <p> </p> <p>The HUTV reality show, created last year by Emma Coleman ’09, hopes to bring love back into the picture by catalyzing relationships in ten minutes or less. More after the jump. </p>
