To the Editors of The Crimson:
I been reading about Mr. Collier and what he says about crowding in Mather House. His numbers are kind of confusing, and I ain't so good at math. But I measured my bedroom today, and it was 100 inches wide, 94 inches long, and 941/2 inches high.
Course, 65 1/4 square feet are fine if you have a living room, but, goddam, somebody's living in my living room.
Mr. Collier sure can do math, and I know you can't mess with the numbers, because figures don't lie. And I know most Houses can't have people living in living rooms like Mather can, because they would lose their privacy--people in Mather living rooms have plenty of privacy, long as no one wants to use the phone, or the refrigerator, or as long as no body walks in or out of the front door, or as long as no body wants to have a party, or play four-way bridge, or watch TV, or play some music, or all those things that other people in other Houses do in their living room.
So I guess we can't complain. Chuck Fraser '78
