Friendly amendment: When I lived in the Bible Suite in Roble in 1982-83, there were three small bedrooms and a small bathroom. Somebody told us that, once upon a time, the suite had residents named Matthew, Mark and Luke plus the john; so if one wanted to be more precise, it would have been called the Gospel Suite. We were also told that the suite used to be maids' quarters, but there was no mention of Tricia Nixon that I can recall.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
