Other groups, handicapped by Mikkola will follow this timetable: group two 3:32:10; group three 3:33:10; group four, 3:33:50; group five, 3:34:50, and group six (the scratch men) 3:35:50. Unlike Dean's List ratings, the highest group men are rated by Mikkola as the best, having to give away a full five minutes and 50 seconds to the advance guard.

This autumn, in an effort to recoup the imposing loss of 1500 unpaid fines, parking meters have been installed on every conceivable curb and Cambridge police have asked the University for a list of transient registrations. A great majority of the 900 college-operated automobiles are now left without the comforting privilege of previous years and must face the fantastically high rates of garage owners.
