...mean that soon fitness geeks will gather around the MAC’s pool as wildebeest do around a watering hole on the Serengeti? We’ll tell you once that drinking fountain gets replaced.One: Pimp our pit-stops. Three words: toilet seat protectors. Widener Library has them. Lamont Library has them. House common bathrooms don’t. We realize this is an unfair comparison. But after wiping the seat down with the Purel by the card-swiper’s desk for the umpteenth time, we figured it might deserve a prominent mention. If we can?...
...second year to graduates of the Class of 2006. With the changing face of the campus, the Campus Life Fellow will be charged with the programming of social space within new establishments such as the pub in Loker Commons, student group facilities in Hilles, Yard basement areas, the planned Lamont café, and the women’s center, according to the online fellowship description. Next year, the fellow will also work to convert various indoor and outdoor campus sites, such as Annenberg Hall and the Gordon Track and Field Center, into functional student-event venues, according to the description...

Having Lamont open 24 hours while Hilles’ hours are shortened, QUAD claimed, constituted unfair treatment of Quad residents...
While I have little doubt that extending Hilles’ hours would serve some Quadlings well, the fuss made by the would-be library revolutionaries was totally gratuitous and, let’s face it, pretty annoying. Between House libraries and an all-night Lamont, there should be no shortage of places for Quad residents to study, to say nothing of the Quad’s remarkable horde of common rooms. The issue is, apparently, one of discrimination: getting to Lamont takes 20 minutes for a Quadling and fewer than 10 for a River-dweller—never mind that...
