Helen Glikman, assistant director for housing at Tufts, said yesterday, the university has a "pretty firm plan" to expand its dorm facilities. Students now in the hotel may also enter an Oct. 2 lottery to attempt to fill new vacancies on campus.

Paraphrasing the author of a book on the controversial Lord Beaverbrook, he writes: "If it is necessary for a biographer of Robert Kennedy to regard him as evil, then I am not qualified to be his biographer." This begs a question. The problem with Schlesinger's book is not that he finds no evil in Kennedy. His case for R.F.K.'s virtues-compassion, puritanical fair-mindedness, personal...
