George won the starting position at quarterback, but for the pre-season games it looked almost as if Big Hole might have done better. With raw rookies trying to fill the voids left by injured veterans like John Tyson and Dan Wilson, the Crimson first unit bumbled through a 16-7 loss to a weak New Hampshire team...
...present, University officials are optimistic about Harvard's chances of gaining substantial Federal aid for construction of the new housing. But Federal aid is never certain and, at least, some Harvard funds might be needed to fill in, as it were, the gaps left by government programs. If the amount of University money needed for housing remains relatively small, it can probably be diverted to this use without much difficulty. But if substantial amounts of Harvard money are needed, the housing program may meet stiff opposition from within the University committee from, for example, Faculty members reluctant to see funds...

It could choose anyone--students, faculty, Cambridge police--with consent of the Overseers, though traditionally it selects only Harvard College graduates (with the current exception of William L. Marbury, whose only Harvard degree is from the Law School...
...Corporation membership probably represents the only area where SDS rhetoric has been too cautious. The Fellows fill their own vacancies by the same procedure, having a survey committee solicit a wide range of recommendations, but the process has resulted in an incredibly homogeneous body. Four lawyers, three of them with extensive financial interests which have been repeatedly publicized by radicals, serve on the Corporation; the fifth Fellow, A.L.

...President F. C. Wiser says: "We are happy being happy." He has little else to take comfort in. Earnings dropped 47% last year as airport delays mounted, labor costs soared and the line added more planes than it could profitably fill. For the first four months of 1969, TWA suffered a deficit of $17 million. Its executives could obviously use a Happiness Campaign themselves...
