...Upperclass bathrooms are more secure because you have to go through your room to get to them. I have a friend who was taking a shower last year in a freshman dorm when she saw a pair of feet underneath the shower curtain. And the curtain was opened by a naked man who said hello and introduced himself to her. Needless to say, these are not optimal bathroom conditions...
...Even harder than packing a new pipe can be finding a place on campus to smoke it, since College policy prohibits smoking in both common areas and student rooms of all Houses. While it's not entirely convenient for cigar or cigarette smokers to go outside to get their fix, it's particularly difficult for pipe smokers, who must carry more paraphernalia than will fit into a carton of cigarettes. The above-mentioned junior admitted that he smokes infrequently because of the hassle of finding a proper location. St. John says that he "tough[s] it out with the rest...
...crazy requests," Billy remarks, "like the students who say, 'I know it's wrong, but could you do this?' The people who lock their clothes in somebody else's room, and then ask me to let them in.

Especially this year, because we have a new breed of sophomores." He recalled one recent toga party during which a fire alarm sounded. "The toga party they had was very interesting. All the girls...
...Harvard let go many of its security guards loose this summer. "About half of the guards left," Billy says. "About 27 out of 54 guards I'd say. Either they were old, or they took some money and got away. It was a lot of money, maybe $13,000, but that's not a year's worth of work. In the long run, the agreement wasn't worth the paper it was printed on." Harvard replaced the vacated positions with subcontracted workers from Security Systems Incorporated (SSI). Instead of the traditional black Harvard uniform, they wear bright white shirts with...
