DWIGHT HOUSE The sixteen residents of Dwight Way House (also known as the African-American House) took part in a variety of cultural activities this year. They organized a film and speaker series, held a number of well-attended dances, and created weekday meals which reflected their heritage. Summing up the goals of the residents, RA Lwanga Yonke remarked that everyone worked together to promote a better understanding and knowledge of the African- American heritage, culture, and experience. 6:3 165

PROSPECT HOUSE Prospect House members experienced an ex- tremely unique learning atmosphere this year. As RA Charles Atkinson explained, Russian, for- tunately, attracts the kind of students willing to put a lot of time into learning something well without the need for any obvious carrot dangling before them. Thus, education was taken very seriously at Prospect House. Nevertheless, residents balanced their study time with free- time activities including a Russian film series and parties, both large and small.
