Survey
Questionnaires were issued to
four different groups: students, faculty, parents, and recent alumni. The
~Council hoped to analyze and corn-
quickly assessed. Students were
asked how satisfied they felt at
Andover and how they found the
pace of life here. Answer choices
ranged from "disablingly hectic" to
"productively challenging." The rest
of the survey was qualitative; tudents were asked for sugg estions and
their thoughts on possible changes.
Only a select number of alumni read
them, and responses were summarized in a report circulated among the
rest of the Alumni Council.
TIhe Alumni Council also gathered data by talking face to face with
through separate panel discussions of cluster deans, students,
and alumni teaching in other board-

here at Andover thrive on a fastpaced environment. At the same
time, it also realized the need for
some kind of control to prevent tudents from "going off the deep end."
This control needs to be provided by
house counselors or by a revised advisory system in which students and
advisors would develop personal relationships. The Alumni Council also
reconmmended that faculty themselves
examine and control their own pace
of life.
Seven different proposals were
made by the house counselor comnmittee. Possible changes in the house
counseling system include student

added that implementing a life issues
course in the current 'curriculum is
necessary.
Too many questions arose in
methods of downsizing the school,
and no general consensus could be
reached.
The final recommendations will

TO ALBBEY AND HLHOUSES
With the renovation of Draper Hall next year, Andover
loses two, of
its
most beloved children.
Abbey's Last Stand
From Home to Parking Lot: The Hall House Story
by Gunther Q Rancor
I will now reveal my love affair with a
certain hidden paradise just on the outskirts
of campus. She rests hidden from careless
eyes, where only the adventurous or Mentally ill dare to venture. On' the first day we
met, the only directions I had we ona paper
I had received in the mail. It read, "Cluster:
Abbot; Dorm: Hall House,"
Seeking a 'little help, I revealed it to a
seemingly omniscient returning student. As
raced m dormifemal's

tory assignment, a sly grin surfaced with an
evil chuckle soon to follow. "Go down Main
Street a few blocks, turn right, then walk
straight ahead until you see a red building.
Good luck. Ha ha."
A few blocks?, She was being generous
in her measurement. The walk resembled
some kind of tasteless joke. My new dorm
loseto han he shool Oursole

claim to fame was the fact that we would be
the first to get our books.
I creaked open the front door, which was
so heavy that Kris Kringle himself would
have a hard time budging it. Up popped our
mascot, L;D., a jet-black laborador retriever
with an insatiable lust for Keebler crackers
and Belgian waffle mix. We were never
quite sure what "L.D." was short for, although educated guesses lurked in the air,
the most plausible being "Learning
Disorder."
Heaving my bags o' life up a flight of
stairs,' my room welcomed me with whitewashed walls and crusty windows. With a
flick of the switch, a fluorescent blur illumi-
nated the room from the plastic globe on the
ceiling.
Weeks went by and we started to settle
into our nest. While the rest of Andover cultured and grew, we were content with our
own private microcosm. Just us and that female barn of love next door, Abbey House,
more commonly refered to as "the place
where we got our sodas."
We thought we were what PA was all
All we needed to find happiness were
our pawn-shop ping-pong table and our
punctured pool table, complete with dried
shaving cream splatters from a small ruckus
a few years earlier. It didn't matter if we
didn't have any balls; we would just sit for
hours like vegetable-morons pretending to
keep score.
In the fall, bright crimson leaves carpeted our backyard. The autumn breeze whi-s-1
fled through the dark, dank windows of
Draper Hall, that condemned structure next
door. Sometimes, as I walked back to my
humble abode late at night with one eye
cocked and loaded for those pesky skinheads, the creepy piano music from
"Halloween" would start playing and my
pace would quicken.
The winter months froze all of Abbot,
which made walking up to campus a statewide project. A feeling of isolation and despair settled in. We all felt like Jack
Nicholson in "The Shining," except none of
us were married to Shelly Duvall or anyone
who at one time played the role of Olive
Oyl. It simply felt more comfy to stay inside
and chat.
Sprng fever soon swept the land, and as
the barbecue grill was wheeled out, we real-
'about.
ized our days at fll House were numbered.
We would soon be thrust into a worl d of
corruption and sin. Toward the end, the novelty of the mainstream dorms on campus
had worn out, and people actually made the
effort to trudge down to see us, of all peopie. We had sold out, and we had no choice
but to move on.
One dark weekend night, after a comrade and I had finished our weekly Saturday
Night Live/Siskel and Ebert film fest, we
chilled upon the make-shift balcony which
decorated the front of the building. After
pointlessly launching Oreo cookies at unsuspecting trees, we noticed a twitch in the
branches of the vegetation climbing the
walls of the building. A raccoon had made
its way up the walls of our homestead and
decided to rest upon its sheltering roof. Hall
House warmed even the shadiest of creatures with its brick caress,.aeyt
The nurturing force would last no more
than a year. Perhaps the beauty of it was
that it was over as soon as it began. We had
found Nirvana, but we had to leave it behind,
Now, a few years later, we fourteen all
have separate lives. We have grown too
tired to wake up for our 8:00 African drumMing sessions, let alone walk a mile and a
half in the snow to get to class. Our old
playground yearns to hold on to her last
batch of children. Once they pack up and
move on, she will heal no more. Hall
House's illustrious comfort will soon be
leveled into dirt, and its sister dorm, Abbey,
will perish along with it. Along with their
destruction goes our innocence. We can
only say that it was-worth the walk.

"Fear of what?" I have been asked more

Draper's interior is dark; a flashlight is

building contains many unidentifiable and
unfriendly-looking relics of olden days.
Bizarre noises echo through the decaying
hallways from the shifting of the building,
the groaning of the pipes, and the creaking
of the stairs-enough to make the hair on
the nape of anyone's neck stand on end.

Three weeks ago, Boris Yeltsin's parliamentary opposition voted to strip him his power.
Yeltsin fought back, however, by announcing that he was opening a period of "special rudl.
He proposed a new way of goverhiiig for the next five weeks. Yeltsin refused to continue
compromising with the parliament and the Congress of People's Deputies. He has decided to
simply ignore them. They will continue to meet and conduct their business, but if they do
anything conflicting with his plans, he will treat their actions as invalid. According to Time
magazine, he planned to ask the people to "give him a vote of confidence, endorse a draft of
a new constitution setting up a two chamber parliament, and approve a law setting up elections for this new legislative body." We'll see if Yeltsin's talk and planning will keep him
where he is.

Back in the U.S., Clinton backed down on an increase of the minimal rates farmers and

With the~dawn of spring, Boys Varsity
Tennis heads into a new year with high

Andover native, P.G. Doug Cullen.

The tennis team's next match is on
Saturday against N.M.H. at 1:00 on the

an important start to the season. He also
believes that the team's success is yet to be
determined, and is based on how much the
players actually want it. Hodgson would
be "delighted" to beat Exeter, and performn
well against Milton, the powerhouse of
prep school tennis. Buckle up, tennis fans,
