    CARTOONISH BEHAVIOR: Student journalists are running scared at Harvard
    Business School. Last Tuesday editors of the Harbus, the HBS student
    newspaper, deleted a cartoon from its Web site after school officials
    deemed the cartoon ''disrespectful'' to the HBS career services office.
    The cartoon, satirizing computer snafus in career services, showed a
    computer malfunctioning and an error message popping up with the words
    ''incompetent morons'' (as well as ''joke''). HBS officials reprimanded
    two students, including the editor, Nick Will, who resigned in protest.
    Todd Krizelman, chairman of the Harbus, says editors decided for
    themselves to yank the cartoon. Another editor, speaking on condition of
    anonymity, said the move was motivated by fear. ''People at the Harbus
    are terrified of the administration,'' the student said.
