Guys. We are but a day away from Thanksgiving break, and you know what that means. It's practice for the big one. It's time to get mildly reacquainted with our parents, siblings and pets before this fine university sends us careening out of its gates and into our childhood bedrooms for winter break. Where the heck did time go?

Unless you're an engineer or one of the few seniors who get into Math of Social Choice, you probably wouldn't consider registration "fun," per se. A new social order was established a few weeks ago when the registration times were released: Those with 8 a.m. registration times were the monarchs; 9−10:30 a.m. times characterized the nobles and gentry; knights and vassals occupied the 10:45 to noon slots, while the humble merchants and craftsmen shuffled in from 12:15 to 2 p.m.; finally, after 2 p.m., the serfs and peasants were allowed to scavenge what they could. The monarchs pranced about campus as if their registration times were bequeathed to them through divine right, while the less−fortunate wallowed in self−pity. Both these schools of people suck, and their antics shouldn't be tolerated.

Lately we've heard quite a large amount of people discussing an issue that even the intelligent and resourceful students of Tufts University can't seem to figure out. What is that issue, you may ask? Some important political argument? Yesterday's email concerning the consequences of participating in NQR? Why, for some people, class registration never seems to go well? None of the above. Instead, we're setting out to address something the Tufts campus needs to set straight: pubic hair.
