...KIND of comraderie between those who have waitressed, but unfortunately it has never extended much beyond the courtesy of former waitresses remembering to leave decent tips. The Harvard Square Waitresses Organizing Committee represents the first attempt in this area to go beyond sympathetic Comraderie. Twelve waitresses from Cronin's have organized to demand better pay, better working conditions and general recognition of waitressing as a decent job and not just a menial task assigned to willing women.

Cronin's ad should be removed from the Crimson for the duration of the waitresses' strike.
