...card for the lottery," commented Thomas A. Dingman, assistant dean of Harvard and chairman of the committee. Two weeks ago, Horner told the committee that maybe freshmen could have unrestricted access to the gym, and maybe not. However last week, for consistency's sake, the group opted to partially close the doors to freshmen as well as to River House residents...
Although such powerful unions as the Teamsters and the United Automobile Workers have mangled the 7% pay guideline in the contracts they have won this year, the standard has nonetheless helped moderate many salary agreements. In the past year most workers, especially nonunion ones, have settled for pay hikes close to the 7% standard. Wage increases in major union contracts actually declined overall from last year's 8.2%, to 7.5% from January through June.

When Rose lands by helicopter at her nighttime stadium concerts, it looks like the arrival of the mother ship in Close Encounters (both films were shot by Vilmos Zsigmond). The movie's many drunken barroom brawls, not to mention its gratuitous excursions into the gay demimonde, unfold in gaudy, neon-tinged studio sets. This is vulgarity at its most absurd and most amusing...
