...represent a small proportion of them, and so should be supported only be those who feel represented. We would like to point out, though, that no one refutes the claim of CHUL and CUE to represent all students, and they too are supported by the entire student body. For, insofar as they require financial support for any of their business, money is provided by the Harvard administration, and therefore indirectly by Harvard students. And these committees should be so financed because they are dealing with issues that affect the entire student community, regardless of any one individual's perception...
...Insofar as this play has a psycho logical terrain, it is limbo. Symbolically, a spiral staircase on the stage ends in midair, leading nowhere. Two actors a brother (Michael York) and a sister (Cara Duff-MacCormick) have been deserted by the rest of their company on a tour of some unnamed country.

For one thing, the title character of the New York City Opera's grand spring premiere, Henze's The Young Lord, is reportedly a gorilla. Even the Metropolitan Opera decided to be boldly innovative this year, rather in the manner of President Nixon playing peacemaker or President Bok playing basketball. The Met instituted student admissions ($4.50, half an hour before the performance), but its boldest innovation was something called a Look-In, in which Danny Kaye explained the joys of opera to an audience of school...
...undergraduate education. A residential college occupies a predominant share of the time, energy and experience of students during four vital years in their development, years that fall immediately prior to important choices of role and career. Having assumed this position, the college must pay attention to those critical choices insofar as it is capable of doing...
