...Before Avatar began publishing last summer, City Licensing Commissioner John R. Sennott told its editors that they needed a license to sell newspapers. Avatar applied for and received a license. The next day two Harvard Square vendors were busted by the police. Avatar discovered that the Massachusetts General Laws exempt newspaper distributors from a license. Avatar returned its license, the City refunded the fee. Under a local ordinance, however, newspaper vendors must have a permit.

The Poon uses the blackball system for elections, monthly dues are $15, and the Big Fun comes at the Thursday night dinners in the Castle, where the food-throwing might match that of the Three Stooges. Candidates seeking election must endure a hellish "Fool's Week," which in tedium can outdo any small college fraternity...
