Campers familiar with last year’s Harold were surprised yesterday when the new Harold was released - not because it wasn’t lime green, but because it reads like a formal newspaper.

“What happened to the funny?” asked Lauren Ring.

Last year’s Harold was filled with stories ranging from “Aliens took our DJ!” to “The Kung-Fu Bunny.” It was obviously not meant to be serious.

“I wanted to teach a journalism class, not a creative writing class,” said Nathan Collins, the editor of The Harold. Satori, he said, has other creative writing classes.

So if you expected this story to be titled “Harold Possessed by Pair of Smelly Socks,” you may need to revamp you view of The Harold. But however much it changes, The Harold’s spirit will be the same. If Harold says it, it has to be true.
