...women's swim team had scheduled practice time in two lanes of the IAB pool for only four-and-a-half hours per week. (The men practiced four hours each day.) The women were assigned to the lanes under the diving board, often at the same time that Harvard's divers practiced. Occasionally, several Radcliffe swimmers say, they arrived for practice and found the men's team in their lanes. Harvard swim coach Ray Essick did not order his swimmers to clear the lanes, they say, and many Radcliffe swimmers often left rather than argue...
...told the football team, when it took buses to the Penn game last fall instead of an airplane, that the women's teams had used money he would have budgeted for them, one team manager said. He also said that if Radcliffe swimmers had priority over the IAB pool from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. (the Harvard team currently uses the pool from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m., the prime time hours), "they would wreck the men's program...
...difficult sport to accommodate during the last year, he invited the two teams' captains into his office to work out a sharing system. They succeeded. The Harvard swimmers were willing to set aside enough lanes so that the women could practice at least one hour daily in the IAB pool...
This represents quite a change from last year's situation when Harvard swimmers granted the Radcliffe swimmers an hour a day in the IAB pool. Watson says that the total number of Harvard swimmers will have to be cut this year from around 30 to 25 to make room for the Radcliffe team. He also lists some other areas in which Harvard athletes will have to give up their priority over prime time and facilities: the Radcliffe field hockey team will have what Watson describes as the best field at Soldiers Field to practice on this year, and the Radcliffe...

Several weeks ago, a small time brawl broke out when someone accidently nudged someone else with a bumper pool cue stick. It's not at all unusual to see several rowdies ejected or to find someone with a bloodied face on the sidewalk outside...
