Know anyone in the Class of 2012?

The prospective members of the Harvard Class of 2012 are invited to sample the delights awaiting them during Harvard’s welcoming weekend April 26-27. If you are related to or otherwise acquainted with any incoming freshmen, why not suggest that they check out the Harvard Independent?

The editors are holding an Open House Saturday, April 26 at 2 p.m. at the Independent offices (Hilles 243), followed at 3 by the Extracurricular Fair (also held at Hilles, which houses most undergraduate organizations these days).

Still time to double your money

There’s still time to make a contribution to the Independent that will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to a generous challenge grant from Tom Stemberg ‘71.

Tom has challenged the alumni to raise $17,500, which he will match dollar-for-dollar. Thanks to the generosity of your fellow alums, we only need $4,000 to get the full benefit of his challenge. Raising the full $35,000 would make an enormous difference to the paper as it distributes its print edition to all undergraduates while expanding its web presence.

If you’d like to put us over the top of Tom’s challenge, please send your contribution to The Harvard Independent, Box 382204, Cambridge, Mass. 02238-2204. This being tax season, we’d also remind you that the Independent is a Sec. 501(c)(3) charity.

Thanks for your support and please join us at Grad Board on May 3! (see below)
