...there no limit to the impudence of the Harvard Administration? President Pusey's Committtee of Five to investigate "possible misconduct" by faculty members in connection with recent events is an intolerable affront to the faculty and to the Harvard community at large. For an administration with as much blood on its own hands to launch such an attack is as ludicrous as it is contemptible. I suggest a Committee of Five (or 15 or 5,000) to investigate, repudiate, and discipline the Harvard Administration. David Griffiths Teaching Fellow in Physics
This week's practices on the Business School field have been more intensive than usual, and yesterday the Crimson clobbered the freshmen in a short scrimmage. Coach Munro has stressed the extra-man situation, which his team has not taken full advantage of in recent games...

They learned how dangerous the job could be: several men had been killed in a recent plane crash, and an Indian firefighter had lost an eye when he walked into a helicopter's tail rudder...
...FIRST glance, Smokey Bear seems to have a firmer position in the "lower 48," where timber plantations and city watersheds seem threatened by fires. However, some recent research from California has hinted that even there, government forest fire policy may need radical revision. Forestry experts have found that large forest fires are so hot that they destroy small roots, organic matter, and essential soil nitrates to a depth of several inches, while a series of small, controlled fires does not reach such high temperatures and does not inflict such severe damage...
...useful as some biologists think and if the loss of life and high injury rate among firefighters continues, perhaps it is time to depose Smokey Bear and find some safer way to distribute money to poor frontiersmen.Two firefighters retrieve their axes and packs from a hovering helicopter. In recent years, government agencies have relied heavily on helicopters to ferry men from their "spike camps" to critical points along large fires' perimeters. Last year, the U.S. Bureal of Land Management spent $1.95 million for 7,000 hours of helicopter rental time on Alaskan fires alone...
