About 2200 Harvard and 950 Radcliffe students received some form of aid this academic year and this amount will increase in 1979-80. Total direct aid to students, excluding loans and student employment, will reach about $9.9 million next year, topping this year's record total by about...
...seem willing to take the jobs. Lyman notes, "There are people who can do it. We have more people applying and more people here than ever before. That has got to mean something." With a tenuous balance among University, federal and student funds, a Harvard education remains within the reach of most qualified applicants.

...replenish the threatened supply, scientists have long dreamed of raising lobsters. But lobster culture has so far never passed the experimental stage. The obstacles are formidable. In the wild, it takes lobsters five to eight years to reach maturity. Even when the females begin laying eggs, only about one in every batch of 10,000 survives; the larvae fall prey to a host of natural predators. To complicate the job of would-be lobster farmers, the creatures must be kept apart: in captivity they show as much appetite for each other as humans do for them. Says Marine Biologist Douglas...
...changes when only one-sixth that time had elapsed. Also, because their eggs were released into a controlled environment, free of predators, the survival rate among infants increased to 95%. In addition, by hiking water temperatures to 22° C (72° F), the scientists caused the lobsters to reach the 1-lb. size in only 2½ to 3 years. Finally, the problem of cannibalism was solved by keeping individual lobsters in their own little "condominiums," as scientists dubbed the 3-gal. cubicles, from infancy to adulthood...
