But other Adams residents said they were irked by Hely's message, which they said seemed flippant, as when Hely wrote, "I'll do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again. Now you can get back to using the list to sell futons or whatnot."
Hely swore he was sincere about stopping the noise, which he blamed on the recent visits of a number of graduates, including George A. Plimpton '48.
"He's very boisterous," Hely said, adding that Adams resident and Lampoon member Kevin Etten '00 is the official enforcer on the Lampoon staff.
Adams residents said they are not sure whether or not the noise will stop for good.
But regardless, Grove plans on having a more silent senior year.
"I intentionally got a room really far from the Lampoon," he said.
