This week is the YCC’s Yale-Harvard week, which basically entails them encouraging us to wear Yale gear, with a slightly different theme every day (Wednesday is Residential College Pride day, for example.) They are also promoting a “pep rally” for this Thursday evening. Assumedly, they chose Thursday because they know that by Friday, half of Harvard will be staying on campus and they are worried a low turnout will embarrass them in front of our neighbors to the north. Because everyone knows the only reasons people go on Old Campus en masse are Spring Fling and Obama election night. Then again, if Mathilde Williams’ goal is for Yale to avoid embarrassment, she might have chosen a different venue than Commons for the “FIRST EVER Yale-Harvard Mixer.” Let’s just hope the surroundings are successfully drowned out by “Bay Area remix masters, Pance Party, coming all the way from San Francisco!”
