South House had more than its share of troubles since the River Houses started going co-ed in 1972. What was once an attraction to a number of Harvard men has now become that dreaded read-out on the housing form freshmen receive in late April. "We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore," a megaphone outside Matthews screamed across the Yard two years ago, protesting the assignment of 150 unwilling freshmen to South House.

...have to find two defensive ends." Restic's words have a haunting ring to them. All-Ivy bookends Russ Savage and Bob Baggott have graduated after three standout seasons, and a mad rush for their two spots has ensued. Several sophomores emerged in preseason drills, and small (190 Ibs.) senior Dan Binning may have a shot at a starting berth.

After her marriage is discovered, the Duchess is imprisoned and tormented by madmen. At the end, everyone dies violently...

When there is a protest to be held, it is a tradition to hold it at University Hall, but don't expect the building or its inhabitants to pay much attention...
