...VELLUCCI made good use of last week's city council meeting for a little last minute campaigning before Tuesday's council elections. First he called the City Manager over to hear the tale of an East Cambridge family caught in a home where the heating had failed, then grilled the Traffic Director over traffic problems on Third Street and finally wrapped up the evening with his traditional blast at Harvard...
Over the years, this system has shown an amazing durability, if not too much dynamism. Nine councilors get elected-almost always four from the "good government" Cambridge Civic Association (CCA) and five "independents." Together they apportion the City's bounty to their respective constituents try to keep the tax rate as low as possible, and sometimes, as from 1965 to 1968, break up in bitter fights over the choice of a city manager...
HAYES has a good shot at winning a seat on the School Committee. He is only 26 years old, but already has a strong record in the Model Cities program. His campaign, though deeply in debt, is headed by financially astute Ben Fox '69 who picked Hayes to work for after looking over all the candidates for the Council and the School Committee. The campaign is a pretty amateur affair. Ben carries around a stack of blank checks from the Cambridge and Harvard Trust banks so people who don't have any ready cash can still contribute...
...biggest selling point though is Hayes himself. He is a tall, good-looking Irishman with sad blue eyes. He has a little of whatever it is that makes Richard Burton so popular. Soft spoken, but with an incredible memory for faces and names, he appeals to the ladies.

Ironically her number one vote for City Council...
...game is in Ithaca-a definite factor. Then again. Columbia is starting to look better. Rutgers beat the Lions only 21-14, on a last-minute touchdown, no less. Coach Frank Navarro said he'd make changes after getting bombed by Yale, and apparently. he has made two good ones. John Sefeik. a 156 pound sophomore, gained almost 175 yards last week, and Bill Flynn did a pretty good job as the new quarterback. Could be interesting, but poor, old Columbia will lose number...
