...suggestions to the 124th Editorial Guard on how the Crimson can become an even more significant element of Harvard life. These four humble ideas are only meant to give the new editors an idea of where a daily reader of the Crimson for four years feels the paper should...
...Make the paper free: it is imperative, as Ms. Schaffer insisted, that a student newspaper, a forum where students can debate and freely exchange ideas, be available to all students without charge. While $34 sounds like pocket change to most students, there are many of us, yours truly among them, that simply cannot come up with that kind of money. I walked into the Leverett dining hall on the morning of the January 22nd and saw several of my housemates fervently discussing David Goldbrenner's oped about whether or not recruiting was more socially valuable than public service...

During the 1975 pressman's strike, Graham helped wrap Sunday papers herself in an effort to keep the paper publishing; it's a charming scene, but her account of the bitter labor battle is understandably one-sided. She agonizes about the executives she had to fire, then complains of the "sexist implications" of stories that call her a difficult woman to work for. There was steel there after all. Kay Graham had finally come of age: she no longer had to please everyone...
