Once in a House, the student's status in not yet fully determined. Each House has approximately 40 rooms in Claverly or, this year, Wigglesworth. The assignment to these dormitories is made largely by the "flip-of-a-coin" method, except that consideration must be made for the type of room requested. If a House had no quadruple rooms, while Wigglesworth was a large number of them, people applying for quadruples in that House will live in Wigglesworth and maintain an "affiliation" with their House...
There have been various accounts, not to mention bitter criticism, of the manner in which a CRIMSON editor reviews a movie or play. Although he claims he has no clearly defined technique, several have been suggested. Among these are the rotation plan (pan a few, praise a few), the coin flip method, a mood creation (verdict depending upon the mood of the moment), and the "how many free passes did they give" determination.

Though many workers still object to the taste of coin-machine brews, a Dallas company recently started selling a $2,000 machine that stores fresh coffee at 185° in heated Thermos jugs. The dispenser is so successful that Mobile Kitchens, Inc. installed 62 in Washington, D.C. last year, and is putting in new machines at the rate...
...were the Scrolls stored away from the building? Scholars theorized that the Essenes thought their most valuable possession, their library, was safe from Roman attack only if it was well hidden. Adequate verification of an invasion came when a coin, bearing the surcharge of the Tenth Legion, was found inside the building. The Legion swept down the Jordan Valley in 68 A.D. on its way to the seige of Jerusalem. Clearly it was anticipated by the Essenes, and the Scrolls were secreted away...
