...comes down to this, going on the road for a high-stakes regular season finale. It will be no easy task, but history is on the Crimson’s side. While Rutgers-Newark has not played since April 3—a loss to last-place Sacred Heart—its opposition is currently on a six-match win streak in conference play. In fact, Harvard’s most recent win, which clinched a share of the division title, was a 3-1 victory over Sacred Heart last Saturday...
...will allow eligible Harvard graduate students to borrow a maximum of $250,000 for their education without a co-signer—a safety net required by many lenders. Discussions with HUECU have been ongoing for the past six weeks, and the recently completed contract will take effect on April 23 for the next three years.

The students evicted all the administrators and let in hundreds more protesters throughout the afternoon and night, until the number mushroomed to 500. They wanted ROTC to be eliminated, since the draft was taking so many students away to Vietnam. They were also angry about what they felt was an out-of-touch administration--the most salient example being...
...back to University Hall. At 3 A.M. on April 10, city and state police--under the urging of University President Nathan Marsh Pusey--barged in to evict the students. The protesters had resolved to nonviolence and formed a human chain across the doorway--right before getting arrested. Though the University had agreed not to press charges, the city ended up putting two guys in jail for nine months for assault and battery (including the one who had punched the assistant dean in the face). 23 students were also expelled, with the possibility of readmission in the future, and three were...
