Deep in the Pforzheimer House basement, tucked between practice rooms and HRTV studios, is one of the Harvard music scene's least known entities: Quad Sound Studios.

Antismoking rhetoric is often aimed at young children and their parents, while cigarette makers, warned off their youngest consumers and such severely critized campaigns as the cartoonish Joe Camel, are now doubling their attempts to seduce the next age segment, young adults.
