Concentration: Visual and Environmental Sciences

Where he wanted to go for spring break: Providence. I wanted to get a tattoo of the "Real" seat that they put on dairy products.

What happened instead: I called and got in a fight with some obnox-ious old guy who wouldn't tell me how much it would cost. I'm kind of scared they'd recognize my voice if I went in and then do something weird to me.

Most recent job: Driving the Harvard Shuttle Bus. I'd been driving the bus since freshman year.

Why he quit: I think they're trying to get rid of student drivers--they want to get rid of the radios.

Favorite radio station when driving: Actually I hate the radio. You have to be a DJ and driver at the same time and I always felt this psychic pressure to please the passengers.

What he did for his last shuttle run:At about one in the morning I drove my roommates into Boston took them to IHOP. Then I planned the most dangerous and scary ride possible for my roomates. We almost crashed.

Risky spot on his last run: Peabody Terrace--they have those speed bumps, which we took pretty fast. It's also pretty icy. I had to slam on the brakes and my roommate slid halfway across the bus into the railing.

Ramifications of his joyride: I haven't gotten in trouble yet. They don't know yet. They could fire me, but I already quit.

His attitude: I'd be proud to get in trouble. This is the kind of thing I'd be happy to look back on when I'm 80.

Reasons for his lack of concern: I haven't really done anything else that risky here at Harvard. This was a kind of premeditated recklessness. Interview Elisabeth A. Mayer   Photo Dan Lessin

Two different shows in two different realms ofHarvard, both received with decided approval. Butlast Friday night was an anomaly. Although enoughgroups certainly exist to keep the student bodyentertained--Betty Please. Fat Day, HypertrophieShitstraw, Mopar, Neverlovers, Pushkings, Circusof George, Smiley's Bone, Soma and Toddler, toname few--Harvard bands are rarely heard byHarvard students.

Seda Yalcenkaya '95, who transferred here fromBrown last year, voices a common frustration: "Myproblem is that there is no one particular place Ican go to listen to them...At Brown, for example,they have a student-run, college-funded bar calledThe Underground. All Brown bands play thereregularly, so you know where to go to listen tothe music. Here you only know about gigs if youknow the people who will be playing."

Many Harvard groups concentrate on getting gigsoff campus, at clubs and bars. The Square'sofferings consist of The Black Rose and the Top ofthe Hong Kong; further out there are The MiddleEast, T. T. the Bear's, The Paradise and TheCauseway. One band, Circus of George (formerlyknown as Rank and File Pilot) has appearedoccasionally at Wellesley.
