With the elimination of the Radcliffe fruit list, an already unattractive situation has become desperate.

No longer will the weighty 'Cliffies be able to sign up for fruity, calorie-free desserts. It seems that in the past there has always been either too much, or too little, fruit at Radcliffe. Whether we have to thank the abstention of the lean or the greed of the gross for this situation it is not clear.

While a stocky, Bavarian appearance would not be unflattering to some, the Annex should present the lean with the fat. The sister institution has rarely been distinguished for her sylphs, and if the consumption of eclairs is to go unchecked, many facilities, such as seating plans and pathways, will have to be redesigned.

Unless the decision is repealed, changes must be made. Either the Cliffedwellers must go without dessert, or the already broad tolerance of the male undergraduate must be stretched still further. In this situation, we must ask Radcliffe to do her part: go hungry.
