There are several fool-proof methods of determining precisely the arrival of spring in Cambridge. First, and foremost, is the celebrated Frisbee Factor, which, as all physics wonks know, is equal to the number of frisbees (genuine Wham-O's, no cheapie imitations allowed) that one spots floating in the Charles or caught in trees multiplied by the square root of b2 -- 2ac over 4a. If the number derived from this ridiculous, and practically useless formula is more than the number of swimming stories appearing in The Crimson during a one-week span, then spring has definitely arrived-accompanied, with...
...student attention, it is perhaps time to turn inward and examine more closely the constitution of this University. There is much that is wrong. The Graduate Student and Teaching Fellow Union strike addressed some of the problems.

Despite some key losses, coach Bill Cleary put together an extraordinary hockey team in the Harvard atmosphere as have crew coaches Harry Parker and Steve Gladstone. If the new coach can build some semblance of a winner, fans will flock to the IAB and the program will flourish...

...classical fortuneteller's deck, the tarot, the suits were four: cups, swords, coins and batons. Each suit had 14 cards, with four court cards that included a knight. To this pack of 56 were added a further 22 divinatory images -the Tower, the Hanged Man, the Fool (who is the ancestor of the modern Joker) and so on. And from that basic deck evolved the standard 52-card French pattern of hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs that has been used, with variants, ever since the early 15th century...
