...last three years, I have shared a fire door with five different rooms. I have heard everything from roommate arguments and phone flirtation to impromptu shower a cappella and furniture construction.

This fall, the Yard has been full of fun: an impromptu slip-and-slide, nightly showings of a midnight marauder (the 11:50 man), and bizarrely competitive bean bag throwing contests. All this, without a student center.If there was ever a time for students to reclaim their social potential, this is it. The money has just come in. The momentum...
