Harvard has, by and large, succeeded in blocking a drive by District 65 of the Distributive Workers of America to unionize clerical and technical workers both on the main campus and at the Medical Area. The drive, which began in 1974 in the Med Area, has met with near-complete success there, but the failure of the University to recognize the area as an appropriate unit for collective bargaining has resulted in a fiasco whose end still seems more than a year...

Yet, when his pre-medical advisor began late this spring to make inquiries about Mark's weaknesses, the responses were illuminating. In his applications, Mark explicitly stated his desire to become involved in grass roots health care, treating the medical problems of people as social as well as medical phenomenon. This data and his undergraduate degree in anthropology, in spite of his good medical and science grades and several research projects he participated in at Harvard, led admissions officers to question seriously his commitment...
