From his station outside Au Bon Pain in Harvard Square, a Spare Change vendor who would identify himself only as "Greg D." said that all the tourists "checked out" of the Square for this year sin late October...
...Catholic Students Association and a regular reader of The Crimson, I was disappointed by the statement in a news article (Oct. 27) on the "ex-gay" movement that a Harvard student had "turned his back on his Catholicism because of the church's espousal that homosexuality is a sin."

No meat on Fridays was long a strict church rule, observed by millions "under pain of sin." But in 1966, after the Second Vatican Council liberalized many other practices, POPE PAUL VI permitted bishops in each country to set their own dietary practices. But now Friday may once again mean fish fingers...
