...those of Johnny Hart's estimated 100 million readers who hadn't tuned in for a while, the Easter Sunday edition of his caveman cartoon B.C. may have come as a bit of a shock.

While Katherine Hart '01 laments that this rooming arrangement can make things lonely, there are obvious benefits to Currier's standard sophomore housing, either a single with a hall bathroom, or an adjoining single separated with a bathroom. Despite the optimistic probabilities, however, a few unlucky Currier sophomores manage to defy the lottery odds (some would say for the second time). Pepper notes that, while most sophomores in Currier will enjoy a spacious single, there...
