...afternoon, offering up its garbled, biodiesel-tainted entreaties and refusing to take no for an answer. Worse than that, however, is the lumbering of the heavy machines across the way, which thunderously churn and bruise the earth in the name of construction. Layered upon the regular rumble of city traffic, these sounds combine to form an impenetrable sheet of noise. Such are the melodies of the city. Here, too, pollution haunts our neighborhoods and threatens our collective health. Woe unto the man who drinks from the River Charles, a stream whose contents are about as wholesome as a visit...

The list of conflicts went...
...university community, but sometimes pigs fly. So effective have their coups d’ état of the Eliot and Lowell House dining halls been that both Houses have been forced to impose restrictions on non-residents during peak hours; a resident may invite one guest during traffic hours. Currently, Quincy is the only desirable River House that is restriction-less (at least for upperclassmen), and that domino too shall soon fall...
