...position paper by council members Annie Riley ’07 of Pforzeimer House and Teddy Chestnut ’06 of Quincy House to restructure the Peer Advising Program, a volunteer-based system in which upperclassmen provide academic advice, to freshman in their concentration, also passed unanimously...
...whereabouts has been passed down through Gates’s family after an OWM entrusted his chariot driver (a Gates) with the information. Naturally, in true Da Vinci Code tradition, the OWM decided to be atrociously cryptic and left clues after clues after clues. Gates and his side-kick Riley meet hot, smart blonde Abigail, steal the Declaration of Independence (it’s a treasure map, duh), elude nasty baddies, and get lots of treasure and fame. Jon Voight joins the fray as elder Gates, sans large Amazonian reptiles...

But the film’s ho-hum shenanigans aren’t devoid of eye-opening sexual elements, particularly the masculinity crisis embodied in Cage’s ‘girly’ sidekick Riley.

Indeed, his final presentation in 1997 to MOMA's seven-member Architect Selection Committee was so low-tech?so unlike anything seen in architectural pitches in decades?that Riley remembers it as a near disaster. "Taniguchi is not what you'd call trained in the art of salesmanship," he says. "There were no special effects, no flip-books, no PowerPoint presentations. What you had was a rather shy man talking about his philosophy of architecture. It was probably one of the worst presentations I've seen...
