Curtis said carpeting a building like Lamont would reduce "the liveliness" of the building's interior, adding that "noise will be 'swallowed up' by the carpeting and dissipated in the form of heat...

The noisiest and best-publicized conflicts took place among Harvard students, in the form of infighting between the different factions of SDS, or among moderate and radical students. But the events of that spring proved the Faculty to be every bit as capable of sustained politicking as the students who marched into University Hall.

Probably the most important group in contemporary music, the Art Ensemble deserves to be heard...
