Having fun is an important part of Independent Activities Period, and this week the MIT-Cornell Fictional Alumni Face-Off returns for the last quarterfinal match-up. MIT's Sue Storm (a.k.a. the Invisible Woman) is squaring off against Charles Foster Kane.In case you haven't been following the action, the Fictional Alumni Face-Off is a friendly, spirited competition pitting fake MIT alumni with fabled Cornellians. Community members vote for the winner of the match-up by answering a question on the website, Facebook, or Twitter using the hashtag #MITCU. MIT has managed to secure two semifinal positions and looks to make it three in a row.
Vote for Sue Storm by providing a clever reason why she would make a better housemate than Kane. This week will be tougher than it seems. Sure Citizen Kane is a crotchety recluse, but one could argue that having an invisible roommate could be disconcerting. Let's defeat that argument from the outset.
Next week begins the semifinals. Stay tuned for new voting parameters. And check out the full brackets below.

I vote for Sue Storm. Several reasons: 1. When I was an undergrad, the male-female ratio was 17-1, so, from a housemate point of view, I'm in favor of improving that demographic. Also, a good housemate ought to enhance social events in the house. Sue has this really great party trick (where'd she go?) that is sure to delight visitors. Plus, she's a very talented scientist, and would likely help a lot with problem sets. And in contrast, Kane is a yellow journalist, much more prone to sensationalism than well documented facts in his papers, and I suspect that would conflict with my engineer mentality. SO, when can Sue move in?
