Unfortunately for all those emerging from the Sever editing rooms any earlier, Bruegger's opens late--at 6:00. Simplicity is paramount there: a cinnamon raisin with butter and coffee (Harvard Square's best) is your best option. Nourishment and caffeine...
...YARD WAS QUIET over spring break, probably the quietest it has been since September. Most undergraduates fled campus for sunny Jamaica or extravagant trips to Europe. But not all was quiet in the Yard during the last week of March. Within the depths of Sever Hall, with its long, dark corridor and tiny, closet-sized editing rooms, there was constant activity. Four senior VES concentrators spent their spring vacations splicing together clips of footage in order to complete their senior film theses. Ironically, outside of one of the small, windowless editing rooms, a sign is posted which reads, "Students should...
This is the scene of one of the lesser known dens of scholastic activity for undergraduates. It is in the basement of Sever Hall that the short films, video documentaries, film theses and animated films that will be shown this weekend at the Carpenter Center have come into being.

While most student filmmakers will look back on their films as well-worth the time and on their long nights in Sever with a kind of nostalgia, a week ago their outlook on the whole experience was radically different. As Holsinger commented, "You know that sign about students not living in editing rooms, I used to think that sign was funny. But after the days that I did live in them, it doesn't seem quite that hilarious...
