The stars and stripes in David Gerds’s ‘room en suite’ are a relic from the second lustre of the house. His room is also in use as a living-room, but after removing a couch and a tv-set, peace and quiet returned. The house, where students of the Christian student society CSR live, on Oostsingel, is inhabited by some Citroën lovers: in front three Visa’s and a CX are parked.
