Wolff, associate professor of economics at the University of Massachuetts, states that last year's Yale deficit resulted largely from temporary expenses, such as increased fuel costs during last year's unusually cold winter. In addition, Wolff writes that the Yale Corporation created much of Yale's current financial problem itself last January, when it decided to freeze the amount of the school's endowment the administration can devote to general expenses...
Among students, support for the union seems to be growing; a rally last month in support of non-binding arbitration drew more than 400 students and workers, and last week more than 30 students were arrested when they and a group of strikers attempted to block a fuel oil truck from delivering to a power plant.

The tax was to run as high as $2,488 for the worst guzzlers, and there would be rebates for fuel-efficient cars. The House lowered the mileage target to 23.5 m.p.g., but hiked the tax to a maximum of $3,856. The Senate scrapped the whole approach, and chose instead to write in a complete ban by 1985 on cars that get fewer than 21 m.p.g. The two minicommittees have yet to choose...
