...January for personal reasons.NEW HOME, NEW PLANS Though Winthrop House undergraduates said they will miss the commitment and spirit that were characteristic of Rosen and Sassanfar’s leadership styles—reflecting on moments like Rosen’s raucous procession last month through the House dining hall to unveil a freshly baptized Straus Cup trophy case—they said they are “enthusiastic” about their incoming House leaders.Despite the fact that Rosen, who is a fixture at Winthrop intramural games, won’t be cheering on the sidelines next fall, Winthrop...
...Dining Hall: Revealed preferences. There's a reason everyone wants to eat in Quincy. Its proximity to the yard, sensible servery, and its bright and open feel make it one of the most popular dining spots on campus. The floor-to-ceiling windows satisfy naturalists and voyeurs alike. But severe overcrowding during peak hours, coupled with the unattractive and indecipherable mural (unlike Leverett, you actually can forget that its there), keep it from entering the dining hall pantheon with Dunster. Just a few weeks ago, the People’s House finally lowered the iron curtain, and purged...

During the year HoCo and the Masters put on entertaining events like Iron Chef, Family Feud, pumpkin carving, and Assassins. The only notable black mark is the weak stein clubs, especially compared to Dunster’s epic...
When the College Events Board and the Harvard Concert Commission announced that Ratatat and Sarah Bareilles would be performing for this year’s Yardfest, an annual debate immediately took over House email lists and dining hall chatter. Some agreed with the picks, and some paid no attention, but naysayers held up the announcement as the most recent example of the CEB’s ineptitude. It seems crazy, the argument goes, that if Brown can get Nas and Of Montreal for their Spring Weekend, Harvard must settle for Third Eye Blind and Gavin DeGraw (and when given...
