Who said there's no social life in the houses?
The Currier House Committee has certainly been putting in a great deal of effort to maintain a spirited environment. The arrest of William Blankenship '96, social chair of the Committee, on charges of possession of and intent to distribute a variety of drugs only testifies to the lengths to which Currier has gone to foster conducive living.
A police raid of the Gilbert Tower room occupied by Blankenship and his roommate, Stephen V. David '96, allegedly revealed quantities of ecstasy, LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms and marijuana. Not too shabby a selection: substances in Classes B, C and D. What happened to A? Not strong enough, perhaps, for the Currier crowd.
The Harvard Police also confiscated records and computer materials. We cannot help but wonder who their customers were and if the Currier House Social Committee made some purchases. Notwithstanding Blankenship's chair, it might have been difficult to secure such an account because Currier's money had already been spent by Natalie J. Szerkes '97 on herself.
What's wrong with Currier House? Jocelyn M. Kiley '97, president of the house committee, must certainly be worried that her organization is dwindling so rapidly. With campus crime on the rise, one can only wonder who the next publicity chair will be?
