Flyby Campus
UC Special Election Results
Undergraduate Council (UC) voting ended at noon on Friday, just as Harvard suspended school operations in preparation for the snow. The UC Election Commission counted the votes and tallied the results later that day and the results are in. 13 UC seats were to be filled, representing more than a fourth of the total number of seats in the organization. Two write in-candidates made otherwise uncontested races in Adams and Cabot Houses competitive. Here are the results:
Dean Dingman is Flyby's Man of the Year
Flyby found Dean Thomas A. Dingman '67 swiping students into lunch at Annenberg today. Rock on, Dean Dingman. You win.
HUDS and FMO Save Us from Starvation, Slipping on Sidewalks
Unless you've been under a rock, you probably already know that HUDS and FMO workers basically saved the day today.
To Do: Snow Day
Let's be real, this is the most snow we're going to have for a while. So ditch your real to do list, bundle up, and head outside. We at Flyby have created your Snow Day itinerary.

Crowdsourcing the Blizzard
Whether this weekend's snowstorm turns out to be an historic blizzard of epic proportions or a meteorological letdown, we at Flyby are ready to make the most of it. While some of us have one foot out the door to line up at Burdick's, others will likely find themselves holed up indoors for a good part of this frosty weekend. That could get pretty boring. So whatever you're up to this weekend, whether inside or outside, warm or cold, we'd like to see it. What better way to enjoy a blizzard than to participate in a photo contest? You won't be in class, you won't be at Freshman Formal, and you won't be doing your reading, but chances are you will be Instagram-ing, and maybe even tweeting.
Freshman Formal Postponed!
Freshmen who had not yet grown accustomed to life at Harvard were made a little more so Wednesday evening when they learned their formal dance, previously scheduled for Friday, had been postponed. The cause: a blizzard. Yes, that's right, a blizzard. Forty-five mile per hour winds, feet of snow, near zero visibility—the works. (An Act of God, you ask? Probably not this time, but only time will tell.)
Voting Has Opened for the UC Special Election!
You’ve probably heard of the upcoming special election to fill Massachusetts’ vacant Senate seat (previously occupied by John Kerry). But did you know about our very own UC special election? For students living in Adams, Cabot, Currier, Dunster, Eliot, Kirkland, Mather, Quincy, or Winthrop, there will be a special election this week to fill a total of 13 UC seats.
Needing a New Class?
Is this you in class? Are you wishing that you hadn't taken those three Gen Eds? If you're having second thoughts about your course selections, Flyby has you covered. We've gone through the course catalogue and picked out some of the strangest classes offered this spring. The descriptions below are our best guesses of what these Gen Eds (plus a bonus Applied Physics course) might have to offer.
