Start your adventure at 7 p.m. on Easter Sunday at the Harvard Square subway station. Take the second train four stops, and then switch to the line that is the color of grass, heading in the direction of the Club's place of origin. Get off when you hear French-Canadian accents, and enter the building next to the subway entrance (Boston Garden). Then watch what should be a helluva hockey game between the big bad Bruins and the peerless Montreal Canadians. It you can't get tickets for this clash you can see the Bs take on the Pittsburgh...

Many took offense at the 1974 assembly's proclamation of a missionary-go-home policy (since downplayed) and its declaration of war against "theological conservatism...

Trivers, whom President Bok last year rejected for a tenured position in a controversial reversal of the Biology Department's recommendation, accepted a post as a full professor of biology at the University of California. A specialist in evolutionary biology, Trivers has previously been linked with the theory of sociobiology formulated by Edward O. Wilson, Baird Professor of Science. He will leave for UCal at the end of the year...
