By Clio C. Smurro, Crimson Staff Writer

5. Harvard Guerrilla Art Initiative

This group would bring some much-needed creativity and self-expression back to Harvard’s bathroom stalls. It could perhaps be founded by someone in Adams.

4. John Cage Orchestra

3. Harvard Bagpipers Association

Think how much less boring Convocation and Commencement would be if there were tartan-clad students entertaining us with sweet Highland aires.

2. Harvard Dadaist Society

For those of you who have ever thought to yourselves: “If I put this HUDS tray in the Sackler, is it art?”, this is the club for you.
