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. Residents: Charles Atkinson, Laura Breisky, Elaine Danforth, Patrick David, Elema Eliashbero, William Enegvist, Martha Fellows, Stephan Hamann, Linda Jerolimov, Jason Lavery, Michael Lewis, Lisa Martin, Brian Mau, Christopher Meyer, David Montgomery, Berek Fond, Margie Rauch, Kira Reoutt, John Shifttette, 166

1 68 rt D ANDRES CASTRO As in all the co-ops, Andres Castro members took part in five hour work shifts each week such as dishwashing, gardening, switchboard operation, and general house management. But unlike residents in many other cooperatives, residents of Andres Castro Arms really didn ' t seem to mind the work at all. The work was a good way to meet the other residents, a member expressed, and it often provided a good study break in which we could relax and have some fun!
