...want to direct a play on the Loeb mainstage, you apply to the Harvard Dramatic Club executive committee--a very odd bird indeed. The HDC does not elect the committee--the five-man group nominates its own new members, and only a vote of the club, by mail, against a nominee can defeat him. Before the creation of the Executive Committee last spring, elected officers voted on applications for shows; the club gave up the old structure when it was told (by the students who appointed themselves the executive committee) that the Loeb Faculty advisers would only deal with them...
Another major complaint has been that when the HDC established the committee, it also approved a rule that no undergraduate could direct on the main stage unless he had previously directed two shows elsewhere.

Although the Utah Mormons claim only one direct descendant of Smith, at least 190 are Reorganized Saints, and their President, W. Wallace Smith, 65, is the prophet's grandson. The Reorganized Saints hold to the belief that Joseph Smith, before his death, anointed his eldest son, Joseph III, to succeed him as the sect's leader...
