...editorial (A History of Futility, October 22) assailed the Undergraduate Council, calling grants allocation its only "serious function," and touting Big Fingers and chocolate milk as its only acomplishments. My advice to those who wrote this hastily-researched piece is to read last year's Crimson. Therein you will find that, among other accomplishments, the council was responsible for drafting what has been called New England's most liberal alcohol policy; opening the Freshman Union until 7:30 every night and for all of Senior Week; enacting a new, more open housing lottery system; tightening up CUE Guide editorial policy...

...twelve-nation European Community spends $63,000 an hour to store 1.4 million tons of unsold butter in refrigerated warehouses. Its mountain of skimmed-milk powder rose this summer to 988,000 tons. The E.C. is trying to reduce the stocks by feeding the butter to calves and the milk powder to pigs and poultry. But experts estimate that about half the butter and other refrigerated products have deteriorated so badly that they are no longer fit to be eaten by animals, let alone humans...
