...administrators who so pride themselves on this objectivity still manage to develop a bias of their own on occasion. Yet, the argument goes, these are opinions based on a survey, "the full picture" taken from a room in University Hall, and so much clearer than the view here on Plympton St. Students, the deans will say, cannot form proper opinions because they do not have all the facts; yet they will not release the facts to newspaers because they fear the opinions that might develop. The dispassionate observer might conclude that neither the newspaper nor the dean has the full...
Basically, you can't beat the Confi-Guide if you want to find what is to be taken here. It's informative, humorous, interesting and on sale for only two bucks at registration, around the campus and at the Crimson, 14 Plympton St. Get it, your education shouldn't be boring...
Late last night the first few copies of the Summer School's experimental newspaper, rolled off the press in the basement of the Crimson building at building at 14 Plympton St. Strike one blow for the do-it-yourselfers, and strike another for the love of free discussion, which along with a few proffered dollars convinced us at The Crimson to print a newspaper that is being billed as the Summer School's alternative to this paper.

And for really obscure stuff, there's this guy who sits in the Cafe Pamplona with an assortment of books...
Harvard Pizza--Plympton St. at Mt. Auburn. This is the median of pizzerias: Roman Hruska, former senator from Nebraska and author of a famous speech in defense of mediocrity, would love this place. It serves the standard American pizza--hot, cheesy and with a tasty crust--but it's nothing special. The folks behind the counter are affable though, and the place features a tiny television perched atop the Coke machine. That tube is always, come hell, high water or the Yale game, and it's usually tuned to either a ballgame (if one is on) or re-runs...
