While You Were Searching for the Next President

Harvard students were producing yet another season of Ivory Tower. The good folks at IvyGate just reminded us that season 4 of the all new Ivory Tower is well under way. The Harvard College soap opera describes themselves as a show "Completely acted, directed, written, and produced by Harvard undergraduates, Ivory Tower is Harvard’s very own soap opera. Both parodying and revealing the world of Ivy League sex, lies and privilege, college has never been this much fun! Ivory Tower provides the only campus opportunity for professionally-minded students to start producing fiction television today." After the 90's version was retired from Harvard-Radcliffe Television the show hit a hiatus until broadband brought it back. Now you can catch all the latest action from the other side of the river via YouTube. Episode 1 of season 4 hit the net in November, just last week Episode 2 was granted upload status. While students are spending their precious moments creating quality internet episodes the members of the presidential search committee are hard at work. They're still looking for that replacement for the departed Larry Summers. The Crimson recently shortened their list to four candidates; today they're saying "members have expressed enthusiasm" about two of the four. Sounds steamy – stay tuned an announcement is due in early February. In the mean time feel free to catch up on your favorite soap you keep forgetting to TiVo.
