Dunster residents Moon Duchin '97 and Roland Tan '97 said they felt the graffiti demonstrated that Dunster has become less tolerant in the past year. According to Duchin, Dunster is home to significantly more BGLTSA members than any House, and she worries that randomization has changed Dunster's previously accepting atmosphere...
...works range in age from the approximately 26,000-year-old paintings in Namibia's Apollo 11 cave (discovered at the time of the Moon mission) to late 19th century Bushmen drawings. "Rock art represents an extraordinarily interesting and valuable heritage," says Neville Agnew, associate program director of the Los Angeles-based Getty Conservation Institute.

Instead of hiring a player, Fogerty commenced to teach himself the technique and, after a year, "I got fairly proficient. [Then] it became obvious that it was the wrong sound. It didn't match what was in my head...
Trying to dredge Blue Moon Swamp out of himself, Fogerty took several trips--"pilgrimages," he calls them--to the Mississippi Delta. "I was chasing ghosts," he says. Perhaps it was those ghosts of Robert Johnson and all the other bluesmen who drove off his demons, and produced a miracle that all of us can share...
