Spring Is In The Air
Spring is in the air. The trees on Spangler lawn are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the winter coats are tucked away. So what’s the problem? One word: cases. I have to say, I really didn’t mind reading cases this year. For the most part, they were interesting, if for no other reason than… Continue reading Spring Is In The Air
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:
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.

The Faces of J: A Year in Retrospect

I dreaded going to class everyday with people who believed they were masters of the universe and the rest of the world was supposed to worship the ground they walked on. I… Continue reading Absolut-ly Fabulous!
Section Olympics Preview from That Guy
HBS is full of great traditions. Whether it’s Holidazzle or the Chili Cook-off or three dudes from Section I asking overly-contrived questions of former Cabinet members in Burden, tradition is what makes HBS the wonderful place that it is. One tradition that has been growing in popularity in recent years is the Section Olympics. For… Continue reading Section Olympics Preview from That Guy
Section B Wins Section Olympics
Burden auditorium was buzzing just after class on Tuesday, April 13 as the RCs geared up for a day of Section Olympic contests. Though Section B would eventually take home the gold, it certainly didn’t look that way at the start. Despite a very intimidating showcase video featuring a shirtless Tom Selleck, Section B, represented… Continue reading Section B Wins Section Olympics

Bad Weather Can't Keep the Class of 2007 Down
“Today, May 11, I’d like to introduce to you the 2006 Section Olympics Champion Section I,” prophesized Dave Burt during the Opening Ceremonies of the Section Olympics. Unfortunately for the other nine sections, he was right. Even the poor weather could not rain on the competitive spirits of all the Type A’s at HBS. “Put… Continue reading Bad Weather Can't Keep the Class of 2007 Down
