Nonetheless, the question of providing the guerrillas with the means to continue their struggle may soon become critical. In Washington, the Reagan Administration showed little sign last week that it would alter its policy of sending only humanitarian assistance to the Kampucheans. Said a U.S. official: "Involving ourselves directly against the Vietnamese would introduce an East-West element into this, and perhaps ASEAN should take the lead...
...referendum: the House-by-House breakdown of results. Council members and Thomas A. Dingman '67, assistant dean of the College for the House system, are quoted as saying they are afraid of letting freshmen know what each House thinks of the current preference-based selection system.

New halls usually take some time before they sort themselves out acoustically: at first hearing it appears that the Ordway's sound, designed by Acoustician R. Lawrence Kirkegaard of Chicago, is rich and clear...
