Proceeding with what onlookers described as "ridiculous "seriousness," the two policemen alighted from their squad ear--intent on enforcing another little-known Blue Law forbidding the "play of musical instruments on MDC reservations." The piper left at once, a handful of undergraduates remained to protest the action--one boldly requested the policemen to sing...
Similarly, the method and intent of feature writing, like the profiles, have been altered by this year's staff. The articles on the Harvard Undergraduate Council and the Doty Report debates are typical of mindless scissors and paste summaries of news releases and CRIMSON articles which have so often strangled Yearbooks.

The plan's comprehensive scope, its thoughtfulness, and its bold promises of progress are all calculated to impress. But the intent seems wrong. The spirit behind it appears more concerned with maximizing business opportunity than with creating a humane, liveable city for the poor as well as the rich...
