...morning this fall, Dartboard awoke in his Pfoho single to discover that the College administration was going to eat his library. And his basketball courts. No space in the Quad, it seemed, was immune to the new strategy of rezoning; Dartboard half-expected to come home late some night and find the left three-quarters of his modest closet occupied by a handful of confused Dunsterites, doing their best to partake in Harvard’s newest nebulous “social space...

Gilman ’02 last spring pointing out “the naturally unequal distribution of dining hall traffic caused by geography and quality of cuisine” prompted an outcry to make sure that residents of all Houses had an equal opportunity to eat well...
