When the 107 returning members of the Radcliffe Class of 1954 arrive at Comstock Hall Wednesday afternoon to embark upon three days of receptions, luncheons, colloquia, special exhibits and performances in honor of the Radcliffe Centennial, they'll find significant changes in their alma mater. Back in the early '50s, Radcliffe was an institution seeminly independent of Harvard, sharing only course instruction, an economy measure forced by war-time pressures.

Robert Gordon looks like a refugee from a George Raft movie with an acrylic pile toupee. His last record, Fresh Fish Special, was a great open-a- few-beers album which included, among other things, the best version to date of Bruce Springsteen's "Fire."

One departing Israeli official noted sarcastically that the biggest Egyptian flags in El Arish last week were flying from...
This strategy was based upon an assumption that international students were treated substantially differently in the financial aid process than were American students and that a special fund for South African black students would fill a financial vacuum for these students. Recently however, after reviewing the functioning of the Fund. I discovered that the Fund would not actually fill a vacuum.

From this realization...
