II. HRC Softball Game vs. The Crimson - Friday - HRC will be forming a softball team to play a game against The Crimson this Friday, and this is your chance to join the action and crush The Crimson!

E-mail Ted (tskowron@fas) with your name, house, year, preferred e-mail address, and glove hand (if you need a glove) as soon as possible if you're interested in playing for HRC.

III. RSEP with Ben Shapiro - Wednesday - Join us at this week's RSEP study break with special guest Ben Shapiro, an outspoken Harvard Law School student who, at age 17, became the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the country and has since authored two conservative bestsellers: Brainwashed and Porn Generation. The event will take place on Wednesday at 9pm, location TBA. As always, Finale desserts will be served. Questions? Contact Mark (mshepard@fas).

IV. Join the Conservative Book Club! - Throughout April, the conservative book club will be reading Manliness by Harvard's own Harvey Mansfield. It's not too late to join! We are also in the process of planning a catered dinner discussion with Professor Mansfield himself.

VI. Habitat Bike Challenge - HRC board member Matt Schrimpf will be representing Harvard and the HRC this summer in the Habitat Bike Challenge, riding 4,000 miles across the country to raise money and awareness for Habitat for Humanity. His goal is to raise a dollar for each mile of the ride. All donations will help to eliminate poverty housing and are greatly appreciated!
