'And Not a Drop to Drink'

Leverett House students in all McKinlock entries and K entry of Mather are getting minerals in their water but they aren't at all nutritious. The minerals which are infiltrating a broken pipe lying somewhere under the intersection of Plympton and Mill streets, are making the water unappetizingly murky, and, worse, it has slowed down to a feeble trickle. Leverett students are advised that there will be no permanent need to resort to bottled liquids for water will be taken temporarily from a different pipe until this one can be repaired. This may however, take several days. At present, despite much open air bureaucracy, engineers are trying to determine the exact location of the break, while workmen continually dig. The search is complicated by high tension wires underground near the break, and "Those things can kill a man."
