What has happened in the space of three and a half weeks to reverse the reles? Harvard's personnel is no weaker--in fact it is stronger. The elevation of Dwight Ware and George McManama to regular turns has given the Crimson its highest-scoring line, at least against weak opposition like Penn and Sir George Williams. And Bob Higgins, who was an unknown last month, has proven himself a capable goaltender able to supplement December's star, Bill Diercks...
...Dwight Ware finally broke the 0-0 deadlock for the Crimson by scoring on a feed from Turco at 11:59. Chris Gurry's long slap shot made it 2-0 for Harvard at 17:25, and Ware added another 30 seconds later off a rebound...
...language departments, several course heads have tried to do something about this problem. Dwight Le Merton Bolinger, professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, said yesterday that the heads of courses should be responsible for watching the students' grades.

Foreign aid was cut by a record $1 billion, poverty funds by $300 million, model cities by $350 million. The rent-supplements program...
...Stanford's Bailey in Presidential Greatness. "They were eloquent with pen, as Jefferson was; or with tongue, as Franklin Roosevelt was; or with both, as Wilson and Lincoln were." Johnson is eloquent with neither. Harry Truman helped overcome a similar deficiency with a roof-raising style on the stump, Dwight Eisenhower with an avuncular manner that inspired confidence and trust. Johnson's official verbiage tends to be dull, and though he can be pungent and forceful in private, his public charisma is just about nil. He doesn't always look entirely "sincere," and he can't always. His effectiveness...
