Jeremy D. Pool '67 said the committee will not contest the election-- in which Med Area employees rejected, 436-346, District 65's bid to represent them in their future dealings with Harvard--because it would probably not be able to secure a new election any sooner than it could without the appeal...
...some 15,000 discos in the U.S. today, v. 3,000 only two years ago. Many of the night places are for members only, with fees and dues ranging as high as $1,000 a year. Many have good-and expensive-restaurants and such added recreational lures as pool, pinball and backgammon rooms.

Not a few, however, are decorated in notably good taste; and some seem...
...Press Pool. The 250 Western publishers and broadcasters who gathered in Oslo last week for the 26th annual conference of the International Press Institute, however, are worried that the movement could become a campaign to replace straight reporting about the developing world with government-approved propaganda.

But within a month after the Indian news agency Samachar joined the nonaligned-nations' pool, the agency dropped both U.P.I. and West Germany's Deutsche Presse-Agentur. If UNESCO continues to lend its prestige and expertise...
Third World spokesmen are generally skeptical of such overtures, fearful that they might perpetuate "cultural imperialism." The officials prefer to go it alone. To that end, Third World representatives will meet later this month in Kinshasa to lay plans for expanding their press pool. And they are almost certain to reintroduce last fall's defeated press-control proposal at the 1978 UNESCO general conference in Paris...
