On the Harvard Undergraduate Council Election
I've been inundated with requests* to comment on the Harvard UC race. Now, there's Cambridge Common and Team Zebra for that. So I'll just quote Greg Schmidt in Zebraville on the Votih/Gadgil ticket:
In short, Voith/Gadgil told opposite things to HRC and BGLTSA about their stance on ROTC, and both groups are now mobilizing against them. The Dems, also in response to the revelations of the past 24 hours, are stepping up their efforts for Haddock/Riley. I don't think I've ever seen a campaign have a day this bad...
Not to mention the Voith/Gadgil campaign's blatant disregard today for our no-doordrop policy, clearly disclosed by a sign on our Eliot suite's doorbox. And the shady behavior disclosed by The Crimson. I must admit to a certain amount of fascination as I watch the burning wreck / fireworks; however, I think Robert Ballard's comments on some recent Titanic discoveries are strangely apropos:
Explorer Robert Ballard found the bulk of the wreck in 1985, at a depth of 13,000 feet and about 380 miles southeast of Newfoundland. Ballard was not impressed with the expedition's find.
"They found a fragment, big deal," Ballard said. "Am I surprised? No. When you go down there, there's stuff all over the place. It hit an iceberg and it sank. Get over it."
*by which I mean, two.
