Part of the failure to woo the commuter to his Center is the continuing shortage of attractive and needed features. Putting a big flannel patch on a hole in a pair of blue jeans won't make them suit pants, and the stop gap measures at Dudley have not transformed it into a house. The complaints range from criticism of the grimy looking walls to condemnation of the entire Center as inadequate. The furniture just inside the front door is a collection of multi-colored leather chairs placed about a large red rug. Before settling down, the commuter must find...
...living at college--with the resulting decline in commuters--but it has also modified the outlook of the Dudley students. Once completely ignored, the commuter now feels slighted. Once it was impossible to compare Dudley with any of the houses; now the commuter tends to exaggerate the slowly closing gap between the two. As a result, conditions seem worse and the effect is often depressing. The solution seems theoretically simple to those advocating non-resident membership with the houses.

...vastness of the gap between the envisioned tomorrow, and the actual today, Brazilians sometimes blame nature: the rugged mountain ranges that block the seaboard from the interior, the tropical heat that saps men's energy in the coastal cities, including Rio. Racists (rare but not unknown in tolerant Brazil) put the blame on Brazil's racial potpourri. (It was 62% white, 27% brown and 11% black by the 1950 census, but a majority of Brazilian whites have at least a trace of Indian or Negro blood.) Often Brazilians blame the nation's Portuguese colonial masters. Complains...
