Short answer:  we've been breaking the rules all along.

Medium answer: you can't talk about "always" with George.  Old George, in 
f-f-f-Hallowell Basement, was an ex-dorm room that SWIL more or less 
appropriated, and lost when the Basement was renovated and turned 
permanently into dorm space.  The George C. Hurliman Memorial Library 
Memorial Library exists in awkward harmony with CP&P, which (as they see 
it) allows us to share space that properly belongs to them.  When we first 
moved in, they weren't happy about letting us keep *anything* in there. 
Sounds like they've mellowed out since then, but CP&P giveth, CP&P taketh 
away.

Long answer:  No time for long answer now.
