They say democracy is about choice, and returning residents of three residential Houses found their toilet-draining options doubled when they returned to Cambridge this year: Eliot, Kirkland, and Dunster Houses installed dual-flush handles in an initiative to reduce water waste. A standard downward push uses a mere 1.6 gallons, a standard amount for a low-flow toilet. But bathroom-goers will be able to save even more water with an upward push on the handle—let’s call it “flush number one”—which is intended...
Harvard students, always clamoring for more choice, are now flush with options when it comes to their bathroom activities. Over the summer, all bathrooms in Kirkland, Eliot, and Dunster Houses were outfitted with brand new toilets that now include water-conserving flushing handles, or “flushometers.” The dual-flush handles—painted a bright green—can be pulled up for liquid waste, releasing only 1.1 gallons of water per flush, or they can be pulled down for solid waste, releasing 1.6 gallons of water per flush.

...VES—EAS has a place for you. In fact, you can fulfill non-language and non-tutorial classes without ever taking a class in the department.

The to-die-for syllabus includes Jean Renoir’s brilliant and hilarious class comedy...
...choose from and for those prone to dabbling, Sociology is an all-you-can-eat buffet. Housed on the 5th and 6th floors of William James Hall, the department is smaller than most of the other social sciences. Trekking to the massive phallic symbol, inconveniently located on Kirkland Street, can be hell on a snowy day, but you can spend that extra time thanking your lucky stars you`re not going to Vanserg. The building offers two roomy lecture halls (usually reserved for cores and graduate classes) and a labyrinth of cramped classrooms in which you will...
