Mehaffey ’06 wrote on behalf of the Quincy House Committee (HoCo) last week. “Our Grille is in the main part of the house and is frequented by both Quincy kids and randoms alike.” Students and the House Masters said they support re-opening the Grille with a menu of foods that don?...

...Mather House Council (HoCo) will serve up a message of alcohol awareness along with the usual snacks and beverages at a Masters’ Open House this Friday. According to HoCo Co-Chair Jessica L. Jones ’06, the student-organized event will include “an interactive system of displays to be set-up around the masters’ residence.” “While students are milling around chatting they can observe our materials, digest the information we are providing them in a low-pressure environment, and discuss the displays with their friends...
