These students are in the business of serious pillow fluffing as they transform ordinary Eliot dorm rooms into the lodging of champions. To make that giant leap, committee members coerce volunteer hosts into neatening up their river-view suites (such a view is required before one can even be considered as a potential bed-offerer), arrange for Harvard Student Agencies to provide sparkling clean linens, and even organize the baking of homemade cookies (oatmeal chocolate chip this year) so that the skaters can go to sleep with stomachs well-fed as well as pillows well-fluffed...
