...Ah, but what about Currier?, you may ask. No gracious red brick exterior, no view even of the Quad. The plainest and most charmless of the Quad houses? The most graceless of all the Harvard houses? Well, yes, if you're passionately attached to the image of ivy-covered brick (and centipedes), white moldings, fireplaces and winding stairs. What Currier has instead: a cozy, bright, immaculate look (it's even cleaner than Pforzheimer); cheerful carpeting and comfortable chairs and sofas tucked in every nook and corner of the house; the most pleasant dining hall on campus, always sociable but never...
...Ah--pretty people having fun doing rotten things to one another! Old money screwing no money and vice versa. Takes you back to the snazzy sex melodramas of the '50s (Ross Hunter and Otto Preminger, by way of Grace Metalious). Alas, nostalgia ain't what it used to be. The Stephen Peters script is twisty but vacant of character, and John McNaughton's direction is coarse, slapdash, without the saving spark of low art or high camp.

But Lucy Parsons, its volunteers (there is only one paid employee) and its fans have mobilized. Rallies! Protests! Antagonism! Strife! Ah, la boheme! Puccini would be proud...
...Ah, the Harvard vocabulary. In this week's plea for our money, Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles noted that "nearly 70 percent [of undergraduates] have some form of aid, such as loans and jobs." We at Dartboard have gotten used to saying we are concentrators (not majors), who eat in dining halls (not cafeterias). But discovering that we "receive aid" instead of "get paid" for our jobs is going a bit too far. The Financial Aid office helped not a whit in finding Dartboard's non-work study, term-time job making Xeroxes and running errands...
