With Star Wars fast becoming the biggest moneymaker ever (box office receipts are $12 million a week), the movie industry is wasting no time jumping onto the spacewagon. 20th Century-Fox is already plotting its first Star Wars sequel, and other film makers are rushing to make their own sci-fi flicks before the fad wears thin. Judging from some of their plans, that may not take too long...
...stuck with the title of dean of freshmen--I felt it was necessary to have someone clearly charged with the welfare of freshmen--to stick up to them," Fox says. Fox and Moses agree that in day-to-day affairs the office will for the most part be autonomous. Moses, who in his few days in Cambridge appears to have talked to as many diverse people as possible, eager to learn as much as possible about absolutely any aspect of Harvard, explains that he has never worked in isolation from his colleagues and does not plan...
...this reason, Moses thinks one of his most important responsibilities is to be highly visible.

...Fox says he has not instructed Moses to work in any specific areas, so beyond counseling and such bothersome questions as how to alleviate overcrowding in the Freshman Union (the freshman eating facility), it is not clear in which areas Moses will choose to concentrate his efforts. He foresees difficulties in this year's newly-instituted separate freshman class (in the past, a percentage of freshmen have lived at the Radcliffe Quad's four-year Houses, and freshmen in the Yard were forced to eat at the upperclass Houses when the Union used to be closed on weekends), but nevertheless...
