Last January Dean Watson set a limit of 20 students in each House who could live off-campus. In the Spring, perceiving that things might be a little tight in the fall, he raised each quota to 28. Most Houses failed to fulfill their quota, bu tat least one, Adams, had far more applicants to live off than the quota permitted. Instead of raising the Adams Houses failed to fill their quota, but at least one, other Houses, the administration remained rigid. Thus in the Spring it denied off-campus status to many students, and in the fall, to open...
...fall has seen the confusion and uncertainty of previous housing crises multiplied. Many students are being put up in temporary "barracks"; others are either moving unexpectedly off-campus, losing rooms promised them in the Spring, or being forced to take in an extra roommate. Harvard has an obligation to limit this confusion as much as possible. One clear way is to abandon its traditionally hostile attitude towards off-campus living--if only temporarily while the Housing shortage persists. It should not keep one House's off-campus quota down, if others go unfilled. It should make sure that students...
...aboard Cuban Ilyushins. Furthermore, warned Washington, any Cuban ship trying to land them in Puerto Rico would be seized on the spot.

Van Alen's answer: a totally different scoring system called VASSS (for Van Alen Simplified Scoring System), which he invented...
...Limit. Disillusioned and impatient, many foreign bankers do not care to answer any more SOS calls from London, even though they have a stake in the pound as an international reserve currency. Says one leading European central banker: "What we did once again was to buy time for the British. What use they will make of it remains to be seen, but we are quite pessimistic." Another banker puts an "absolute limit" of one year on continuing to bail out Britain. The French, who chipped in $100 million to last week's rescue for purely political reasons because they...
