"No. I think moving to Allston would deprive the law school community of ready access on a regular basis to the academic resources and libraries of the College and professional schools. We would be geographically and socially isolated." --Ndubisi Obiorah LL.

After choosing to participate in a sit-in at Massachusetts Hall near former President Neil Rudenstein's office with other Harvard students, four law students received a disciplinary sanction very different from that of their fellow protesters. As a result of the decision, Ashwini Sukthankar, Fatma Marouf, Faisal Chaudhry and Aaron Bartley now face the prospect of having to explain a "reprimand" notice placed on their transcript, which will likely be reviewed by the Board of Bar Examiners in whatever state they seek bar certification.

The line-up Justin Dillon Justin wears many hats on the Honorable Stanley Mosk Memorial Team. He is the team captain and founding member of the original team of four. He dubs himself the team's Poet Laureate for his love of brief writing and attention to turns of phrase, but it is also clear that Dillon provides the team with ample desire to win.

I bet that a fair number of guys wonder what girls talk about when they go to the bathroom in groups. I suppose it can be unnerving to wonder if "the girls" are getting a debrief of your date's real feelings for you. Well, guys, unfortunately I'm not here to divulge the secret conversations and private deals that are negotiated in our ultra-secret society.

Many non-1Ls seem curious to know whether there is a more familial feeling within the 1L sections now that they are so much smaller than before. As a 1L, of course, I have little to compare the present system to, but certain new developments this year indicate that the answer is yes.

Straight from Ground Zero via Madison Square Garden the boys from Dublin burst onto the stage with a message. Their customary opener "Elevation" had a different ending: This should be a "celebration, jubilation, celebration, celebration." In a "Bad"-esque move Bono informed the crowd that tonight would be different.

Two years ago, a man named Scott King won a special jury prize at Sundance for "Treasure Island," a movie he wrote, directed and photographed. Ostensibly, the movie was about code-breaking, espionage and West Coast racial prejudice during World War II. More to the point, it was also a painstaking retread of gritty, no-nonsense American filmmaking in black and white.

For young people especially, Christmas shopping can almost turn the holiday into more of a hassle than it's worth. Figuring out what to get a long list of friends can be a nightmare, not to mention a route to bankruptcy. The onus is on you to prove you're not like everybody else, to give someone something they might not buy themselves, but that they might actually want.

Due diligence. A few months ago my brother tips me off to this album Brushfire Fairytales, by this Hawaiian guy named Jack Johnson. I give it a couple spins -- great voice, elegant yet simple guitar, an enchanting and mellow Sunday afternoon sort of album.

Some wine columns ask the simple questions. "Should you drink red or white with salmon?" (Either.) "What's Burgundy?" (A region in France that makes wine you can't afford.) "Why do the French name their wines for places, not grapes?" (Because they're French.

Well, it's finally here, and Harry Potter fans everywhere can breathe (somewhat) freely. The movie is scrupulously faithful to the text, perhaps faithful to a fault.

I'm no economist, but HurryDating seems Pareto-optimal to me. What's more efficient than spending less than $1 per date and being able to run off without giving anyone my contact information? So when the RECORD asked me to take this dating service for a test-drive, I agreed.
