By our first-year correspondent, Rowan Hawitt.As a muso, and daughter of Junior (because she's younger) Senior (because she's been here for longer) Organ Scholar Catherine Olver Junior (because there's been one of her before), I can provide an insider's perspective on the murky privileged world of the muso room allocations. Whichever one of us cracks first when James Buxton sings a quarter tone flat in chapel gets last choice of the rooms with a piano. And while legend has it that the organ scholars get such large rooms so as to squeeze in a grand piano, it's really just that they need all the extra space to accommodate their egos.
Jacob Bradley (*yes, now you better pick D7b*) has rightly pointed out that Tanmay Sukthankar applied to be an organ scholar just because he thought they were for medics and hence he would have excellent medical facilities. Of course this is not true, but it's solely because of this reason that my marriage to Tanmay will be eternal. Even though you may be jealous of our exclusive college-based rooms, we're actually just a masochistic bunch who wish we could partake in the thrill of the chase- who wants the comfort of knowing you have a room large enough to swing a double bass when you could be a hair's-breadth from a Botolph cell? Not me.
