OB beat NK in a squeaker on opening night. Two sets: 15-11; 16-14. The team was led by super-setters Sandra Manolescu and Renata Dionello, along with support cast Roland Pan, Sandor Hau, Felix Danziger, and Tony Ling. Arguably the most critical support, however, came from the OB official cheerleader Kuka “for Cocoa Puffs” Elemesova who… Continue reading OB "Sets" NK in Volleyball Opener

Special K Keeps it Special
It looked like a tough game for Special K. Some of its best players were on reserve. Owen the forward was injured and Doren and Olya, the two goalkeepers were also unable to play. Adding to the thin lines, Travis, NK’s other forward, got injured in the first minutes. NJ jumped onto the field with… Continue reading Special K Keeps it Special
Good Old Section K
Dear Deans Clark and Kester, I agree with Louis P. DiLorenzo, Jr., the president of the penultimate Section K. In an open letter published in last week’s Harbus, he congratulated you on your decision to excise one section from Harvard Business School’s MBA class. Yes, DiLorenzo offered you praise, praise that in my opinion you… Continue reading Good Old Section K
Breaking News
Capitulating to dissent from several student groups, a toga-clad Dean W. Carl Kester officially announced today that the outcome of the Class of 2003 Section Olympics, rather than Michael Porter’s Alphabetical Selection Method, will determine which section is eliminated for next year’s incoming class. “Friends, Romans, Countrymen: Based on public response to our ten-section reorganization… Continue reading Breaking News

What's up at J-Crew
In an amazing turn of events, it turns out that my column two weeks ago about potential nuptials was prophetic. Velina Peneva became the first female J to get engaged. Her ring is lovely and her fianc‚ is a real peach, but quickly she admitted her true reasons for accepting his offer. After a moment… Continue reading What's up at J-Crew
NJ Goes Sailing
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
Fast Times at NK High
Recent visitors to A110 must have noticed many a furrowed brow among the residents. First we had to divine meaning from our profs’ T2 midterm feedback. Not too tricky when you get a 2-page essay stuffed with specific citations of your classroom contributions. But some instructors kept it so brief (that’s one word or less)… Continue reading Fast Times at NK High
Cohort Dresses Up for Newport Ball
Tuxedos and sequined evening gowns were de rigueur as approximately 400 Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan-wannabes descended on Newport, RI for the January cohort’s final Newport Ball. The event, held in Mrs. Astor’s Beechwood Estate on the edge of Narragansett Bay, was sponsored by the Student Association and planned by Katherine Liu, NH and Christina… Continue reading Cohort Dresses Up for Newport Ball
Summertime in the Land of K
Temple of K Desecrated in Weekend Coup! Imagine our shock on striding into class the Monday after alumni reunion weekend to find the walls of A110 stripped bare and our hand crafted decorations cast into plastic bags. Apparently the powers-that-be deemed our lovingly designed signature kites unsuitable for public display to esteemed alums and ordered… Continue reading Summertime in the Land of K
The Campus is Ours!!
No lines and plenty of open tables in the Spangler dining room. Empty tennis and racquetball courts at Shad. Free reign of the library. No crowds in Aldrich. The Januaries are all alone on campus (not counting the Exec Eds)! And most of the Jans couldn’t be happier. “Just as I expected we rule the… Continue reading The Campus is Ours!!
Jans Survive Term 1

This is the last crop of Januaries, after the decision… Continue reading Jans Survive Term 1
Midterm Madness-The Agony and the Ecstasy
After last week’s round-up of newsworthy notes from Aldrich 110, it’s time to walk a more reflective road. Does it look like the Kids of Special K will really emerge `Transformed’ from the halls of Aldrich come 2002, just like it said on the packet? As we Januaries crawl back into the light after two… Continue reading Midterm Madness-The Agony and the Ecstasy
