Hey Harvard Crimson, Where the Hell is My Crossword?

Nooooo, how will I ever find another way to engage in a satisfying intellectual pursuit and procrastinate on my paper ALL AT THE SAME TIME?

Nooooo, how will I ever find another way to engage in a satisfying intellectual pursuit and procrastinate on my paper ALL AT THE SAME TIME?

At least, that’s the name of a recently created Facebook group that proves that at least 32 people besides me out of 7000 undergrads at Harvard have noticed that the Crimson has stopped printing crossword puzzles in their daily papers. I feel so vindicated knowing that I’m backed in my opinions by such an important part of the student population.

Says the Facebook group’s info page:

This is group has been formed to raise awareness of the Harvard Crimson’s choice to drop the crossword from the paper and try and bring back the Crimson crossword. We are just simple Harvard students from many different backgrounds, united by this shocking turn of events. Seriously, is it that hard to print a daily crossword?

Personally, at first I just assumed they were in a Thanksgiving week slump, but the continued failure of the existence of the daily crossword puzzle has gotten me a little worried. One day, they tried printing a word jumble, and now it’s just HUDS menus.  I mean, what a shocking testament to the decline of print media in our time.
