Nadim N. Vasanji ’05 and Michael B. Schnall-Levin ’05 were part of a group that sailed “S.S. Adams.” They were assigned to Adams House yesterday.

But fellow Canaday C resident Kacie A. Lally ’05 wasn’t as lucky. Lally and her blockmates had wanted to be assigned to Kirkland or Quincy, but were assigned to Currier House.

“None of my blockmates could make it to the rituals, so I would blame that,” she joked.

She added that her blockmates were unsuccessful in attempts to convince her that “every cloud had a silver lining.”

“I had wanted anything but the Quad,” Lally said.

But one person in a blocking group of five members—four of whom flew to the Dominican Republic yesterday for spring break—said he was not too disappointed about being assigned to Cabot House.

Daniel S. Haimovic ’05, who stayed behind because of tennis commitments, said he was sure his blockmates would be pleased with the assignments.

“I’m happy with it because I know I have a lot of friends there,” he said.

Haimovic’s blockmate Christopher D. Golden ’05 had said earlier that he liked the parties and people in Cabot.

Arie J. Hasit ’05, who had placed an advertisement in The Harvard Crimson on March 6 stating “I WANT YOU!” asking for blockmates, was assigned to Kirkland House.

Hasit, who had found a blocking group in the end—the group of a friend who helped him design the advertisement—said he was relieved not to have been assigned to Currier or Mather House.

While he said he wanted to be assigned to Leverett or Winthrop house, he said he liked Kirkland’s dining hall and libraries.

A group of five first-years who had met each other during Fall Cleanup and then developed their friendship while working Dorm Crew was assigned to Dunster House.

Kristina J. Matic ’05 said her group’s first words on opening the envelope were, “Where is Dunster?”

Matic said she was “neutral” about Dunster and that she had spent the night before she received the envelope with her blocking group “pretending to do work” and munching on take-out from the Hong Kong restaurant.
