...middle of April that Palazzo came to the realization that "Harvard students can change things here. The problem is that they just don't know it." He has since found that it is not quite so simple. But in the beginning, that realization, gleaned from meetings with Stewart and Dr. Graham Blaine of the Health Services among others, provided him with a fanatic zeal to get what he wanted done done right now, even with just a month or so of school left...
Parietals, to Palazzo, were only incidental. They were part of a much bigger problem. "The University," he said, "is trying to resist change.

Just what kind of disobedience no one will say. They don't want to antagonize the Masters just...
...really pressed this point, but if it is exploited, the parietal demands could be had, quickly and easily. If a House could become autonomous and, with the Master's advice, make its own social rules, approved by the majority of the House in a town meeting, Palazzo and the others could find the real answer to everything they want...
