Lowell D-Hall Puts Up The Velvet Rope

Looks like Lowell house has found a method of keeping intruders out of their dining hall that works even better than dropping trow: opera. All non-residents are officially banned from the dining hall for the next month while the Lowell House Opera prepares its spring performance.

Since the production takes up so much space, the dining hall can no longer fit the people who actually live in the house. They even rehearse during brain break. Because everyone wants a high F sharp with their late-night cereal. Naturally, angry Lowellians have responded in the best way Harvard students know how: passive aggressive email threads. At last count over 20 messages on the topic had been sent. Check out this gem by “STC":

I wonder if the people fighting for the right to bring guest to dinner have ever asked their guests if they actually want to eat in Lowell. With that tiny servery and hidden cereal bar, it’s a pretty big downgrade from all the other river dining halls.

After the jump, more quotes from the “STC” on the Lowell email list and pictures of an opera-themed brain break.
