This letter is addressed specifically to all those house masters and superintendents who have perceived a problem with the door-dropping of various materials to their houses, but I hope all of you will read it. I sympathize with the occasional little problem that affects the houses as it would affect any college dormitory at any college, and appreciate that it takes clean-up time and money. Forbidding door-delivery of free materials, however, is a drastic and unnecessary step that offers little gain for the houses involved while depriving students of ideas and information and threatening the financial viability...
...should point out that a similar door-drop battle was fought last fall in the Yard. The superintendent's office imposed a total ban on all materials not subscibed to or requested by students, saying the level of trash in the halls was too great. Student outcry against the ban persuaded the College to install baskets on all student doors to hold door-drop materials and keep them off the floor. So far this seems to be an intelligent, practical cost-effective compromise that makes superintendents and student distributors happy. Before this compromise was arrived at, however, student publications such...

We promise it and advertisers insist on it, since it is our main advantage over publications like the Square Deal. We can deliver Harvard; outsiders can't. Advertisers know that free publications must either be passed out individually by hand (like the Square Deal) or delivered to the doors of people's residences (like the Cambridge Tab) if they are to be read at all. Busy Harvard students--like most people--rarely spend the effort to pick up and take...
...when baskets are installed on student doors, as in the Yard, the amount of extra clean-up required should be minimal indeed. If Kirkland, which forbids door-dropping even though it also has baskets on its doors, still has a trash problem, then perhaps additional remedies need to be sought...
...operation went off with military precision. At about 6 p.m. Wednesday, officers from the Dijin, a police special-operations team, hustled Eduardo Martinez Romero out the back door of a maximum-security Bogota jail while other officers distracted reporters and photographers gathered in front. Martinez, wanted in Atlanta in connection with a $1.2 billion money-laundering scheme, was taken aboard a jet owned by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and flown to his long-postponed rendezvous with U.S. justice...
