...wrong with them. For one thing, the ACSR showed its skepticism of study committees last year, opposing activist demands that several companies set them up because they'd dilute management's responsibility. Besides, a study committee was not only part of what ACORN was asking for--not necessarily the ideal way to maintain the Harvard self-image of impartiality--but might itself constitute a precedent besides.

...Good fences make good neighbors," says a figure in Robert Frost's poem Mending Wall. Frost's character would make an ideal resident of Leisure Village, a 600-acre Lakewood, N.J., retirement community of 5,000 residents. The homes are guarded by a 24-hour security force.

Thirty per cent is a low figure--low in comparison to Harvard's ability to aid 40 per cent of its students and low in comparison to an ideal figure which would be somewhere in the vicinity of 75 per cent. We used to talk about financial aid for students from lower income groups but now the economy's crunch threatens to put Radcliffe's tuition out of the range of middle-income groups as well...
