CITY HALL IS AT Government Center, a short walk from the Park Street subway station, just past the movie theatre where the Beatles' movies come to town. It is a strange-looking building with two big cement eyes which stare out at passing citizens. Strange, but appropriate, for when you look around at the other buildings, it is almost frightening how sterile and monstrous they are. The John F. Kennedy Federal Building, where you go to get your passport, and where the Internal Revenue Service gobbles up your money, stretches up much higher than City Hall in row after...
...might have asked, "Who didn't?" HPC, SFAC, and HUC came out with fairly cautious statements. The CRIMSON, too, for that matter. But these particular moderate institutions have no constituencies; they do not behave like political parties. It's discouraging, of course, if undergraduates don't trust themselves to come to an opinion without embracing some form of group-think. Even then, what would a party of "moderates" do except circulate one more petition? But a certain ROTC-caught-us-unprepared jingoism pervades YD's these days...

Eat a pizza after seeing Shame, or walk around, or get mugged, go to the airport and watch planes take off. But don't come right home to Cambridge. You'll only be jumping back into the same mindswamp Ingmar Bergman just helped you escape...
Dean Ford has already predicted that the Wolff pay raise for Teaching Fellows will probably cost $300,000 beyond the $300,000 needed for the Dunlop pay raises. Unless the money is added to the total budget to accommodate this, the cost of Wolff pay raises will come from each department's present share of the Faculty's unrestricted funds, cutting into funds for new undergraduate courses...
