While Holworthy was not gutted like Matthews, Thayer and Weld, it is undergoing significant interior changes. While the new wooden floors will doubtlessly be noticed, students will especially appreciate the changes in the bathrooms--which will have two showers per eight students rather than...
...miasma of death hangs over the village of Nyarubuye, overpowering the scent of the surrounding eucalyptus trees. Their leaves, rustling in the wind, are all that moves. In the cool of the parish church, a body lies between the rough wooden pews, its skull split from crown to forehead by a machete blade.

Two long rectangular mirrors hang horizontally, the longer on the bottom, above his bed. "People usually go, 'ooh kinky!' but I just though they made my room much larger." Except...
