He's watching.

An Edward Cullen lifesize cut-out in a window of Barker Center. Some professors/TFs have no shame.

Yeah.

At 1100 hours today, a poor Phoenix S.K. pledge was spotted on Mt. Auburn in full Royal Guard garb, red coat, black furry hat, serious face, and all. Though this small act of hilarity inspired giggles among passersby, here at Noice, we’re mostly just disappointed he didn’t break out in dance.

See our final club shenanigans from last week.

ZOMG, DAN RADCLIFFE TOUCHED THIS.

For those of you who have yet to hear, Boston’s own Museum of Science is hosting the first East Coast exhibition of Harry Potter paraphernalia from now until February 21, 2010. Exactly how this classifies as “science” is still a source of debate, but who cares? IT’S HARRY POTTER. Don’t ask questions.

Naturally, The Voice, composed of several, devoted Harry Potter babies, just had to check it out. Find out more after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Kawaii!

If you happened to be near the Yard any time between 3:30 and 4:30pm, chances are you witnessed the spectacle that was the hoard of Japanese students that descended upon our campus and dominated the Kodak moment space in front of our beloved John Harvard.

They migrated through the Yard, flooding the Science Center and creating a bottleneck in the bathroom. But no worries — their smiling faces, dark gray jackets with intricate yellow crests, and knee-high stockings made everything better.

These Sailor Moon-esque schoolchildren made Noice’s day. Visit again, young ‘uns!

Stay tuned for our next installment of Tourist of the Week: In Which The Tourists Become The Toured.

See how the impromptu party began, after the jump.

On September 8th, the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) hosted something extraordinary that somehow seemed to have slipped under the radar: a brief chat with Mr. Ricardo Arjona.

For those of you who are not immediately struck by the frenzy usually accompanying a recognition of a world-famous name, Ricardo Arjona is a Grammy Award-winning, Guatemalan singer. He has been recording music for over 20 years now and prides himself in the cambios sociales (or, social change) that he has succeeded in encouraging through his art. As a Cuban American from the hub of Latino culture that is South Florida, I in particular found his presence on campus to be a must-see occurrence. (I also somewhat arrogantly texted all my Latin American friends from back home a hazy, Blackberry-snapped picture to make them aware of my good fortune.)
