The article directly below the rate hike story mentions that "...University officials refused permission for the triangular yard in front of Kirkland House..." as a possible site for a proposed college-wide rock concert to be held April 26. The alternative site is the Radcliffe Quad, for which Dean Epps has already given his approval.
