Jessamyn A.S. Conrad '00, who was seated in the dining hall, agreed. "It's quite obvious to all who have eaten in Adams that there are too many people eating there to maintain the comfort of all eating there, especially those that live there.... Something must be done."
Residents typically agreed that interHouse restrictions should be more strictly enforced. "The lines are ridiculous during rush hours," said one Adams House resident, Thomas C. Brown '99.
Peter Atkenson, manager of the dining hall, said that between 450 and 500 people eat lunch in Adams House each day. But only about 450 undergraduates and graduate affiliates live in Adams House, and only about 70 percent of House residents regularly take meals there, he said.
Not all Adams residents supported Resnicoff's tactics. Claire Van Eenwyk '99 ofAdams House called the event "humiliating" andsaid that she is "embarrassed to be associatedwith a House that would do such a thing."
Lucy Medeiros, the House's daily dining hallchecker, said that "The Gong Show" "embarrassedthe people working here and it embarrassed thepeople eating here." She said that Adams Houseresidents could minimize interhouse lunchviolations by simply not vouching for studentsseeking admittance.
