...Currier's HoJo chic is a sad echo of a much higher class establishment, New York City's Four Seasons restaurant, which also tries to encapsulate natural beauty with the 1970s sleek urbanity. In trying to "contextualize" their dining halls, Eliot, Quincy and Mather integrate their natural environment into their dining environment by hinting at the presence of that other environment through windows. Currier forces diners to confront the otherness of the external world by centering the dining environment around a fabricated version of the natural world, a bizarre oasis (several artificial-looking plants and a fountain...
...Mather's dining hall is a ski lodge, Currier's is an EconoLodge. Familiarity is a large part of comfort, and most residents are probably familiar with nondescript hotels; making the dining hall into the lobby of one, however, does nothing but conjure up the warmth of tepid coffee from free continental breakfasts. In trying to produce comfort for the masses, Currier stumbled upon mass-produced comfort. The dining hall's attempt to turn its institutional space into a homey place is bipartite: the area tries to hint at the comfort of the natural world (bridging the distance between...

...past two months, Mather, Winthrop and Adams House residents have joined the ranks of the many gay Americans who have been victims of homophobic hate crimes. The crimes have ranged from vandalization of posters to destruction of personal property...
...reactions of the House and school communities have varied. Some reacted with indignation; most notably, the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance (BGLTSA) organized a well-attended rally this past Tuesday on the steps of Memorial Church. Mather House students created a creed of tolerance, circulating a petition beseeching House residents: can't we all just get along? Mostly, though, the disinterested student response is the same as our reaction to any current event. Coup in Pakistan, too bad. Democratic primary debate, that's nice. Attack on my downstairs' neighbor, what a shame...
