Besides, all this fuss about bringing more campus events to the Quad ignores the fact that the Quad has great events to begin with. As an example, consider my enduring bitterness at being turned away from last year’s Pfoho 90s dance because of a crowd that exceeded capacity. Backstreet was back, and I was stuck outside. It was positively (heaven and) Hell...
Perhaps the most frustrating expression of Quadling angst in recent memory came this October, when Quad United Against Library Discrimination (QUAD; the “Library” is cunningly omitted) staged a protest outside of the “Party in Lamont”. Having Lamont open 24 hours while Hilles’ hours are shortened, QUAD claimed, constituted unfair treatment of Quad residents...
...doubt that extending Hilles’ hours would serve some Quadlings well, the fuss made by the would-be library revolutionaries was totally gratuitous and, let’s face it, pretty annoying. Between House libraries and an all-night Lamont, there should be no shortage of places for Quad residents to study, to say nothing of the Quad’s remarkable horde of common rooms. The issue is, apparently, one of discrimination: getting to Lamont takes 20 minutes for a Quadling and fewer than 10 for a River-dweller—never mind that those extra minutes probably...
When it comes to devoting energy to improving student life, spending time on non-issues pertaining to “the Quad experience” is a colossal waste. Not only are these concerns trivial, they also affect less than a third of the student population. What I suggest here is not a tyranny of the majority, but rather the common sense realization that it is irresponsible to spend time on Quad-exclusive issues when there are more significant matters at stake, ones whose impacts extend across the undergraduate population. Let’s talk about online transcript requests. Let?...
...take the issue to constituents either informally through discussions or formally through a referendum after the exact costs of the different proposals are known. Current dining hall hours are 7:30-10:00 a.m., 12:00-2:15 p.m. and 5-7:15 p.m. each day, with the three quad houses having 15 additional minutes added to the end of lunch and dinner, according to the HUDS website. Seven of the 12 house dining halls have some form of inter-house dining restrictions—all but Cabot, Currier, Dunster, Pforzheimer, and Mather...
