South House had more than its share of troubles since the River Houses started going co-ed in 1972. What was once an attraction to a number of Harvard men has now become that dreaded read-out on the housing form freshmen receive in late April. "We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore," a megaphone outside Matthews screamed across the Yard two years ago, protesting the assignment of 150 unwilling freshmen to South House. And, not surprisingly the administration reacted to the dissatisfaction in a material way, deciding to allot a few more...
...ultrafanatical?Communist regime in Cambodia, and drifting at the same time into hostilities with another former friend, the People's Republic of China. The pro-American trend in Hanoi is all the more notable given the starchy posture of the victorious Vietnamese regime following the fall of Saigon in April 1975. For more than three years the government, headed by Premier Pham Van Dong, 72, insisted that the U.S. pay $3.25 billion in "war reparations" as an absolute precondition to any normal diplomatic relationship.

It is as yet unclear how the organizations will work together this year -- and that may prove an important factor in determining the success of their activities. Most students in the groups, confident from the high turn-outs in the demonstrations last spring, believe they will be able to keep up the momentum for change. Some even express hope that...
LATE LAST APRIL, during a week when thousands of students marched and chanted, imploring the Harvard Corporation to end its investments in companies that do business with South Africa, The Crimson faced a familiar ethical dilemma. As the chants grew louder, as University officials appeared ever more supercilious by their silence, as tempers neared a flashpoint, executives of the paper fought against pressures from both sides. Leaders of the demonstration recalling the paper's frequent editorial endorsement of their position, demanded more: cover us more favorably, they said, put us in an even better light, work more closely with...
