Ivy League Notebook and Yale Index

Ivy League notebook

Members of Brown's Technology House have invented yet another mindless Internet activity. The students hope to install cameras in "the Ratty," Brown's main dining hall, that will take photos of the line every 10 seconds. The pictures would then be relayed to an adjacent webserver, allowing students to check the status of the lunch line from their own computers before venturing out. Benjamin Bredesen '02, asserted that the Rattycam project is "the next step towards a technologically based utopian society."

Harvard

A game of IM Ultimate Frisbee turned ugly on Fri., Sept. 26 at Harvard when two students butted heads like billy goats. As Jon R. Kiburz '00, and Katherine A. Hamm '99, gushed blood, several students went to nearby Dillon Field House for medical help.

One player commented, "There was a ton of blood and nothing was happening. The people there gave them a gauze pad." The medical staff explained that they we not permitted to assist non-varsity athletes. The teammates attempted to stop the bleeding with towels, T-shirts, and paper towels until an ambulance arrived to transport the injured students to the hospital, where both received stitches--despite their non-varsity status.

Princeton

Princeton freshmen were taken off guard by serious bad luck on an Outdoor Action trip. After a day of hiking, the group selected a branch on which to hang their food in a "bear bag." Bears, it turned out, were the least of their concerns, as Abhi Raghunathan '02, learned when the 15-foot branch fell on his head.

As the other members of the group gathered to assist Raghunathan, a swarm of angry bees rushed out from a nearby hive. Mary Saunders '02, promptly began to go into anaphylactic shock and was administered a shot of ephedrine. Then the thunderstorm began. The group hiked three miles through heavy rains until a passing driver called a ranger.
