Students Raise $4,333 for Hurricane Disaster Relief
If you're like the typical college student, you probably spent your Sunday watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" re-runs and procrastinating on homework.

Professor Apologizes for Running Over Time
Chinese history professor Michael Puett does it again. Just last month, Puett gave his Ethical Reasoning 18: "Classical Chinese Ethical and Political Theory" class a break from lectures, assignments, and section during the week his students had a paper due.
Humorous Subplots From the Crimson's 69-0 Victory
The Harvard football team's 69-0 victory over the Columbia Lions wasn't pretty. Harvard pulled many of its best players after the half and, in the fourth quarter, played fourth-string running back Damani K. Wilson '14. He ran for 121 yards and two touchdowns.

Running for Hurricane Relief
For many Harvard students, last Monday's hurricane translated to nothing more than a rainy day in pajamas and an extra day to work on that Stat pset.

'stop blowing chunks flyby'
There's never a dull moment reading through the Flyby Tip Box submissions. From entries that really should have remained between the curious searcher and his/her own hand (see Sept. 10) to unsolicited statements about movies and food stuffs (see Oct. 6 and Oct. 16), the mistaken searches and comments submitted through the Tip Box are always a riot to read, if not one of my finest daily pleasures. Below, a selection from September and October.
Who Let the Dogs Out?
Some people distract themselves from heavy workloads by taking a walk, others de-stress by eating, while still others spend hours looking up cute pictures of animals on the internet. Winthrop tutor Wendi X. Zhang is now making it easier for everyone to procrastinate with a new tumblr dedicated to her beloved corgis, Fizzy and Chief.
Students Give Dining Hall Staff a Standing Ovation
While you spent the day in pajamas scrolling through your newsfeed thinking about all the homework you should be doing, Harvard University Dining Services went about their business as usual, grilling your veggie burgers and dishing out quinoa. When all of Harvard shut down for the third time in its entire history, HUDS was one of the few staff services that did not get to stay home. For their hard work, students and staff decided to show their gratitude through a standing ovation.
Where No Burger Has Gone Before
Last Saturday, Harvard students launched the first burger into space.
