...setups create perhaps the most unique aspect of Quad housing. For example, the Jordan Co-Op is an extension of Cabot and houses about 30 students who rotate meal preparation duties and don't pay for Harvard board. Cabot residents desiring privacy also have the opportunity to share a wooden frame house with Senior Tutor Robert H. Neugeboren 83. This separate Cabot-affiliated residence is usually occupied by thesis-enamored seniors, although two sophomores are actually housed there this semester. Other anomalies of note are the top-floor Pforzheimer suites (which come with skylights) and the infamous Currier...
...tales from this televised traveling carnival of collectibles, where folks have their cherished trinkets and ancestral hand-me-downs professionally appraised, are legendary.

Everything in De Hooch's paintings, including the sometimes rather wooden figures, is a space marker. The most reliably expressive creatures there are the dogs...
...uncomplicated set made up of a backdrop representing the blue sky and two poles upon which various objects were hung as an indication of place. (For example, when Candide journeyed through Eldorado, the city of infinite riches, golden streamers were hung from the poles.) The actors used large wooden blocks as chairs, ships, tables and basically anything else that had to be constructed for the musical. Although on the small side, the stage never felt overcrowded at all, since the only objects on it were blocks and the two poles. The Dunster House Opera was staged much like a regular...
