October 3: Student and Faculty members revived the yearly struggle over dress standards in the Houses. The Faculty Committee on Houses--made up of deans and House Masters--offered to scrap the "rule" requiring coats and ties at all meals and replace it with a "well-defined expectation" that students would wear coats and ties at dinner. The Harvard Undergraduate Council objected, saying that individual House Committees should be able to decide for themselves...
What Is Needed. The homes often cut costs in disconcerting ways. Baltimore-based Community Health Facilities keeps only one registered nurse on duty at a time in each home and relies heavily on nurse's aides, who get only $1.30 an hour. President Richard Rynd, 38, a onetime scrap-metal dealer, openly scoffs at a competing home that employs registered nurses rather than aides. "No wonder it loses money," says Rynd.

The investment, as Ablon put it, was "ecologically perfect for Ogden" because the company already derives nearly half of its annual $1 billion sales from food growing and processing (the other half comes from such varied interests as scrap metals, land development and shipbuilding). The merger also solved a problem for "21" 's owners: the Kriendler brothers Bob and Pete, their cousin Jerry Berns and their nephew Sheldon Tannen. The family has run the restaurant for the past 40 years. Lately, Bob Kriendler had been wondering if the family should sell it lest the death...
