While most seniors spent this year writing theses for a limited audience, one senior decided to share his thesis experience and construct a life-size maze in the Lowell House courtyard last week...
...tRNA molecules, unaided, cannot form a stable linkage with messenger RNA; a ribosome is needed to hold them in place until their amino acids are assembled. While the scientists admit that their concept is "fairly speculative," they note that it can be tested in the laboratory if researchers can construct some five-nucleotide tRNA molecules. If the theory is correct, these engineered molecules, placed in a test tube with amino acids and messenger RNA, should synthesize proteins...

Instead Fox's plan as approved by Rosovsky ignores the hard facts of Quad life. Rosovsky's agreement to construct an addition to the South House dining hall and several other token improvements in the Quad environment, such as the opening of the Currier House art and woodworking facilities to use by all the Quad's residents, are only weak palliatives designed to sell the Fox plan to Quad students...
