Dean Whitlock said at the CHUL meeting yesterday that the Administration would follow the guidelines set up by CHUL, according to Merrick Garland '74, CHUL representative from Quincy House.

WHEN you are Judy Garland's daughter, you don't grow up as other children do. Liza Minnelli, the only child of Judy's marriage to Director Vincente Minnelli, was born into a bizarre fairy tale in which she was destined to be both the princess and the scullery maid. Her life had a careening plot line with glittering characters and fantastic reversals of fortune.

...York was almost as tough on Judy Garland's kid as on any other show-biz hopeful. While looking for work, Liza stayed with a friend of her mother's, then moved into a hotel for women, only to be thrown out and have her clothes confiscated when she could not pay the bill. Neither parent could be found for help, and she spent one night on the steps of the fountain in front of the Plaza Hotel, another in Central Park. Luckily, she was cast in an off-Broadway revival of Best Foot Forward. The salary, $34 a week...
