Our house is a four-story, century-old brownstone in Boston's affluent Back
Bay complete with walls, floors, and ceilings. What?!? Want more? Well, we have
an open kitchen (no sign-ups, no hassles) to hone those gourmet chef skills, a roof
deck, which is perfect for sunbathing in the summer, a hot tub...er, wading pool and a T1
connection to MIT's computer network. It isn't necessary to own a computer, though,
as brothers are always willing to share theirs.
Also, for those times when you
need to unwind after finishing twenty hours of problem sets, you can enjoy cable TV,
a VCR, a tournament-sized pool table, and a ping pong table. Catering to those of
you who stick to a one use-per-wash underwear policy, in our basement we have
industrial-strength washers and dryers. We even
subscribe to the Boston Globe to keep you
informed of life outside of MIT. Finally, you get five home-cooked meals a week,
prepared by our chef, Marc. All this for only
about $4400 a year, less than most living groups at MIT.

Leonard Johnson '01 Fullerton, CA Aero.-Astro.
Vice President
Leonard Johnson serves as one of the country's best arguments for stricter
gun control. When this Californian first came to MIT he aspired to be a constructive
member of society, building airplanes with his Aero-astro degree. Now an embittered
junior, Leonard fantasizes about being a military commando and taking out his old
Unified professors. Whether this is due to his Air Force ROTC training, the senseless
violence he sees on The Simpsons' Itchy and Scratchy Show, or the hours he spends in front
of the computer playing Total Annihilation is anybody's guess. No matter which
reason, one should make it a point not to get on his bad side.

Stuart Laval '03 Orlando, FL Comp. Sci.
"What are you thinking?!?" We've learned not to get offended at all when we hear
this now common phrase in the halls of PKT. In fact, we often find humor in the way
that Stuart expresses himself. From "What are you doing?!?" to "Stockham better stock
`em," with the latter referring to Erik stocking the soda fridge, you never know what
he's going to say next. That is, unless he starts talking about MIT's basketball team and
how great the other players are, or his classes and how tough they are. He may sell
himself a little short on his own abilities, but we know that quiet guys from Florida make
for great brothers.
