...Council meeting in the City Hall last night, property holders near Colonial Way voiced considerable objection to the University's petition to close the street that divides almost in half a plot of land bordering on Memorial Drive on which one of the new House units is to be erected...
...great and furious war god after whom their land is named, Mexicans again paid costly homage last week?by flying at each others' throats. There is no surer way of pleasing God Mexitl (see map).

Auburn, and Holyoke Streets; the other on a triangular lot adjoining Memorial Drive just east of McKinlock Hall. In the case of the former, however, it was advisable to alter Holyoke Street at the southern end, where there is an awkward bend in it; while the construction of the second House would be hampered, if not prevented, by Colonial Way, which cuts the triangular lot into halves...
