...Saturday CRIMSON correctly reported that Harvard College Interhouse would be discontinued in Lehman Hall on March 18, 1969. The term "interhouse" is an accounting expression which allows a student on board contract to charge his meal in Dudley House (to the value of his contract lunch) to the Food Services Department. Discontinuation of interhouse does not imply the prohibition of Harvard College members who wish to pay cash for their lunch in Dudley. This move is the first in a slow but essential lunch...
Even the board's apologists admit that, since about 1965, it has repeatedly overreacted to political considerations. It is widely agreed that the board let the money supply shoot up much too fast late in 1965, contract too sharply in mid-1966 and then rise too rapidly in 1967 and 1968. The great rises of the past two years have fueled inflation, which the board is now trying earnestly to stop. Since December, the money supply has not grown at all, and bankers cannot meet the increasing demand for loans. Martin's foes were jubilant when...
Moreover, Lawyer Nixon's legacy from Lyndon Johnson on the bomb halt is by no means a contract. There was no formal agreement reached between the two sides last October. U.S. Negotiators Averell Harriman and Cyrus Vance merely outlined to the Communists the "circumstances" under which Johnson would feel able to stop the bombers in good conscience.

All that the Communist negotiators indicated at the time was that they "understood" what the Americans were saying...
Construction on the House is proceeding on schedule, von Stade said. Six unions have agreed to start contract negotiations in April, von Stade said. He added, however, that strikes might occur on any of the contracts, which would delay the expected September opening of the House. Work is now being concentrated on a wing to be ready for 100 sophomores next Fall, but only quads and quints will be available--singles and doubles will be in Mather Towers, which will open...
...take to heart by holding down salaries-everybody seems to be earning more and more these days. Congress recently doubled the U.S. President's salary to $200,000, while boosting the pay of its own members from $30,000 to $42,500. Barbra Streisand this month signed a contract with Las Vegas' new International Hotel that gives her an estimated $500,000 (plus stock in the hotel) for four weeks work a year. Harvard Business School graduates now begin their working lives at an average $12,000 a year. At leading Wall Street law firms, starting salaries...
