...roommate out for their first Cambridge beer. They chatted for a half hour about course catalogues and freshmen seminars and compared notes on where to buy cheap plants and how bad the food at the Union was. Jeff was clearly enjoying his first chance to play the worldly upperclassman (he was a sophomore) and in the midst of a discourse on how not to get lost in Widener Library, he paused dramatically...
...plan must retain certain fundamental alternatives for undergraduates. Currently, Currier, North and South Houses offer students a lifestyle much different from that at the River Houses. They have a mixture of four classes. This aids freshmen in adapting to House life and combines formal House staff advising with informal upperclassman counseling that Yard freshmen cannot receive. They have an almost one-to-one male-female ratio. And, the Quad Houses provide an alternative for many to the overbearing, "old Harvard" atmosphere of the River Houses...

Verr told a disjointed story about his parents' having been in an automobile accident. Verr's lie was discovered, and he was found guilty of violating the honor code by both the Honor Committee and the officers' reviewing board...
Bruce Collier, assistant dean of Harvard College and the University's resident housing and computer genius, said he believes that the Grabar plan would have a destructive effect on the Quad Houses. For every freshman a Quad House puts in the Quad, he says, an upperclassman would be forced into the Yard. If the Quad Houses housed students who liked the Quad in the Yard or if they put students disenchanted with the Quad in the Yard, those students are likely to remain disenchanted with and isolated from their Houses. Either way, Collier says, the Quad Houses would lose...
