...essential change mentioned in the report is renovating house dining facilities to allow for longer and more flexible dining-hall hours. This proposal is sure to be greeted with delight by nocturnal students craving something more substantial than a slice of bread from brain break after their dinner at an hour better suited to an early-bird special. Many students stay up long past the time when food is available, and extending dining-hall hours would reduce the need for students to spend additional money on food outside of the dining hall...
...university does not wait until the renovations are complete to address some of these issues. Though some problems cannot be avoided given the current physical configuration of the houses, others can be alleviated for students immediately. Dining-hall hours, for example, or at least the quality and hours of brain break, could be improved long before the renovations. And, though the amount of available common social space cannot be changed, lesser-used social spaces can be made more welcoming...
Late night munching, however, is a sad affair. The average brain break is abysmal after 9 p.m. Quad life is one far away from any late-night food establishment, and night owls either become vending machine regulars or takeout speed-dial savants...
Experience vs. Youth. A study of Canadian air-traffic controllers published in this month's Journal of Experimental Psychology suggests that an aging brain is just as sharp as a young one - at least when it comes to surveying the skies. While older controllers, aged 53 to 64, were slower on simple memory or decision-making tasks not directly related to air-traffic control than their younger peers, aged 20 to 27, they did equally well on tests that directly simulated the tasks of an air traffic controller. The study's lead author theorizes that decades of experience and expertise...
...work, or bro out. With enormous windows facing the Charles River, the setting sun provides automatic romance at dinnertime. The dining staff is cheerful and the food is delicious (because, hey, it's HUDS!) and many Matherites never leave. Which is fine, because unlike other Houses, Mather keeps its brain break open all night long. Until recently, the late-night food selection lagged behind other Houses', but HoCo has recently instituted plans to provide more exotic fare than bagels and cereal. Hummus and pita chips are available once a week, except when Eleganza models, doing their best to thwart stereotypes...
