Pollack doesn't contend that outpatient care can be a complete substitute for hospitalization. The health plan won't try to perform surgery in back rooms of its health center. But Pollack claims that about one third of the patients in a hospital on any given day do not medically need to be there. They no longer need the 24-hours care the hospital provides; and if adequate outpatient clinics were available, the patients could recover at home, making occasional visits to the clinics...
...forth a greater commitment and a more positive intellectual effort from us both in terms of conscientious reading we have done and of discussion in section, than most other coursse we have taken at Harvard. The absence of an assigned authority and the presence of undergraduate section leaders has given us a sense of collective responsibility for the direction of the course, the reading and the discussion; it has given us a sense of individual responsibility to our won intellectual growth.

Given enough time, the Harvard Administration will find ways to bring the necessary money into the Faculty budget to subsidize the pay raises, student center, and scholarship guarantees. But to implement the report's recommendations as soon as possible (as the Committee requested), the money squeeze will cut into funds for undergraduate courses for at least the next...
...Wolff Report recommendations as they may apply to each department is the first opportunity for graduate students to become involved in decision-making committees. When committees are formed in each department to enact curriculum changes, graduate students should not only be consulted as to their reactions, but given equal voting status. This, not the Faculty vote in April, will honestly test how willing the Faculty is to accept its graduate students as scholarly equals...
Sophomore weight man Ed Nosal is given the best chance for a Crimson victory but middle distance runner Keith Colburn is also a leading contender in his event, the 1000--yard run. Nosal's 62'2" toss in the 35-pound weight throw is a Harvard record, and is one of the longest throws in the country this season. Colburn set a Harvard record in the 1000-yard run earlier this season, and is also the University record-holder in the 880-yard...
