NJ beats NF 8-0
October 28, 2002 NJ had its last soccer game of the regular season today. Because of our good standing so far, we didn’t need to win today’s game. So, for a little bit of fun, we decided to alter everyone’s roles, i.e. we had defenders and goalie play as strikers and strikers play as defenders,… Continue reading NJ beats NF 8-0

What's up at J-Crew (OJ)
We may be OJ, but we are still the official J-Crew which leaves new J with no choice but to use our earlier moniker, Jazzy J. Wear it with pride, NJ. We attacked NJ with love and affection and then challenged them to a boatrace as OOJ did to us. Unlike last year, however, the… Continue reading What's up at J-Crew (OJ)

Recruiting Snafus: What Not to Say to a Recruiter
So, which did you prefer – the lifeless interrogation rooms at Chase (easy escape) or making idle conversation in “reception” rooms at the Doubletree (comfy internment)? Either way, it is what happened during the interviews which results in the most giggles all up and down the hallways of Aldrich. During our heady week of selling… Continue reading Recruiting Snafus: What Not to Say to a Recruiter
HomeRuns.com Runs Out of Cash
High demand and significant willingness to pay was not enough to save online grocer Homeruns.com from ceasing operations on July 12th. The closing of the privately-held company comes in the wake of a rash of online grocer failures that have included Webvan (with over $1 billion of capital invested), ShopLink.com and Streamline.com. The rise and… Continue reading HomeRuns.com Runs Out of Cash

Despite the threat of thunderstorms, the January Cohort flocked to Fort Adams State Park last Saturday for the HBS Sailing Club’s Newport Cruise. Over 100 students, partners and even a dog donned lifejackets and sailed nimble J-22s sailboats across scenic Narragansett Bay. Mother Nature was on our side and blessed the group with Newport’s characteristic… Continue reading NJ Goes Sailing
NJ goes skiing
If I got a penny for every time someone asked me if NJ had really been skiing, I would probably have at least three cents by now. And as I predicted, the brutal course of section love took its toll in the spring break. One day it was there, and the next day it was… Continue reading NJ goes skiing
New J Goes Skiing
Pine Chen has complained that contrary to the implications of the last article entitled “New J Goes Skiing (Sex)”, there was in fact no mention of sex in the article. Pine, my friend, look closely at the last word of that title. Those of you sad enough to have read both the NJ and the… Continue reading New J Goes Skiing
New J Goes Skiing (Sex)
Thank you to Sisto Merolla for sharing with us his simplistic Italian approach for capturing reader attention. Last week I discovered that Joshua Margolis, our LEAD professor, and Bjorn Jorgensen, our FRC professor, read my simple NJ contributions to the Harbus. Now, the obvious tactic here would be for me to write a sniveling, greasy,… Continue reading New J Goes Skiing (Sex)
News from the House of D
We know what it’s like when Ds are out on the town. You get the likes of Linda Cai stopping traffic in Harvard Square just to get that Beetle, Hans Eriksson with his parents in tow, and, at opportune times, Brian Davis taking a dive off that bridge in less frigid weather. Who’s to say… Continue reading News from the House of D

Wanted:
I will be the first to admit it, I dropped the ball. EC’s will remember what I am talking about. Last April on Section Olympics day, to the chants of various re-written British football songs, each RC section paraded around in new, and sometimes cool looking section t-shirts. Witness Hot-E, G-Love, and I heart NI.… Continue reading Wanted:
NE Off to a 3-0 Start

Section Olympics 2003:
If you missed it, you really missed it. Section Olympics was a resounding success as hundreds of RCs spent a sunny Tuesday afternoon running, jumping, tripping, throwing, screaming, vomiting, eating and everything besides. This being HBS, it was sometimes a little heated, but sport and the section bonding was ultimately the winner. The record will… Continue reading Section Olympics 2003:

NI Pulls Together and Wins Food Drive
The Food Fight arrived this year with little fanfare and hype. The annual event took back-seat to section retreats and company presentations, and overall, was not on the radar of many students.

Green Is The New Crimson
Recent Green Living Competition Amongst RC Sections Promoting Reusable Containers One look around campus and it is clear that bottled water is in hot supply.

Or maybe we… Continue reading Green Is The New Crimson

Intramural Wire: NJ Takes Home Flag Football Crown

Less Talky, More Drinky: A Gentleman's Guide to Creative Beverage Consumption
A little over a week after arriving in Boston I found myself at a keg party in the backyard of a rundown Cambridge house. Around me, mid-twenty year olds pounded beers with a gusto approaching that of freshmen at UC Santa Barbara. But they didn’t just their pound beers; they also played games with them,… Continue reading Less Talky, More Drinky: A Gentleman's Guide to Creative Beverage Consumption
