For those remaining for the duration of the break, they must endure several nights of subnormal temperatures.

According to an e-mail message sent to residents of Adams House, heating will be reduced, and temperature in the dorms will be around 60 degrees. Several members of Adams House sent out requests for space heaters over the House e-mail list within minutes.

Edmondson said that such policies do not properly accommodate international students with homes far away, financially burdened pupils who cannot afford travel expenses, or the studious who prefer to productively pass the vacation.

Said Edmondson, "I think there's enough money being wasted and they shouldn't cut corners by cutting heating in student rooms."

Beyond frigid domiciles, those remaining on campus will also find a difficult time scavenging for sustenance. Pinocchio's and Tommy's House of Pizza, Harvard's staple food sources, will both be closed during the break.
