The Editorial Board of The Harvard Crimson is Pleased To Announce its Columnists for the Fall Term

Lauren E. Baer ’02, a social studies concentrator in Dunster House, is associate editorial chair of The Crimson. Never too ashamed to parody a billboard hit or publicly mourn the loss of kozmo.com, she will continue to creatively investigate injustice at Harvard, in America and abroad. Her column, which is running for a third semester, appears on alternate Wednesdays.

Ross G. Douthat ’02 is a history and literature concentrator in Quincy House. He will write on politics and culture in the new, post-September Massacre world, and hopes that his words will continue to infuriate, fascinate, perplex and annoy. His column will appear whenever SES and JRL decide it will.

Robert J. Fenster ’03, an associate editorial chair of The Crimson, is currently a biology concentrator in Eliot House (but he is still shopping for the proper concentration). In his debut semester, he will turn his dissecting eye away from fruit flies towards the symbioses and parasitisms of life at Harvard.

William J. Greenleaf ’02 is excited at the idea of a third semester of smearing his thoughts on The Crimson’s pages. As for topics, he plans to continue to allow them to mysteriously percolate up from grey matter. For example: Bad poetry is like having your eyeballs gummed out by a toothless cannibal.

Nader R. Hasan ’02, a government concentrator, begins his second semester as foreign affairs columnist for The Crimson. He hopes to draw on his experiences at the United Nations and with the Harvard International Review to bring readers a fresh perspective on current events.

By day, Jordana R. Lewis ’02 is a history and literature concentrator from Eliot House. By night, she is the more mischievous of the two editorial chairs of The Harvard Crimson. Her column, which will run for its second year will examine our humanity at Harvard.

Sue Meng ’03, a history and literature concentrator in Adams House, is looking forward to perfecting the art of the digression.

Antoinette C. Nwandu ’02, Associate Editor of FM, is an English concentrator in Cabot house. Her first semester as a columnist will be spent ranting and raving about the 300 or so pages devoted conspicuous consumption and coitus in Glamour magazine.

Meredith B. Osborn ’02, a senior in Leverett House, can juggle. She spent the summer riding kangaroos bareback through Australia and getting stopped at borders between Cairo and Istanbul. Her column will relate the issues at Harvard to the world, demonstrating that Harvard isolationism is no better than U.S. foreign policy.

Alex F. Rubalcava ’02 is a government concentrator in Eliot House. He intends to continue his column on business, finance and technology, with more of a focus on international and government-related aspects of these topics. Alex promises never to use the words “deconstructivism” or “llama” in a column in this newspaper.

William Couper Samuelson ’02 is a history and literature and French studies concentrator who will serialize his senior thesis on the Crimson editorial page in bi-weekly installments. Also, his column will explore the ritualistic pageantry of everyday life, chiefly through the lens of popular media, but occasionally through the lens of his telescope in Kirkland House.

Stephen E. Sachs ’02, a returning columnist and history concentrator in Quincy House, is editorial chair of The Crimson. A student of medieval history and modern technology, his column will focus on issues of law, politics and technological change.

Jason L. Steorts ’01-’03, a Crimson editor, is a philosophy concentrator in Dunster House. He looks forward to offering the enlightened viewpoint of Harvard’s persecuted minority: conservatives.
