Eliot and Kirkland are considering dropping a night altogether.
“Tentatively, we’re looking at having Brain Break from Sunday to Wednesday,” said Ed Salerno, manager of Eliot and Kirkland dining halls. “But we’re going back and forth with the HoCos.”
Kirkland House Master Tom Conley said that Brain Breaks “promote nonchalantly productive study,” but suggested that perhaps the House grille was another way for students to satisfy their cravings on Thursday nights.
“The Brain Break is still a work in progress in that we’re always going to be looking at it throughout the year,” said Leverett House Manager Arthur Robins.
Students who feel strongly about Brain Break should consult either their Masters or HoCo with suggestions because, according to Maureen Johannessen, manager of Mather and Dunster dining halls, “the managers are at the mercy of the Houses now.”
