...cars, and two babies were born in the autos before their mothers could be rescued. Normally punctual French trains were canceled or delayed for up to six hours by frozen switches, and by the efforts of engineers who stopped to pick up stranded motorists in the open countryside. The sub-zero cold caused power shortages in Czechoslovakia and East Germany, and East Berlin streets were blacked out to conserve electricity. In Yugoslavia, where drifts reached 16 ft. on major highways and to the second floor of buildings in the city of Sarajevo, local papers spoke of "the white catastrophe...
Nearly 60 Radcliffe alumnae have petitioned college officials to delay a Harvard-Radcliffe merger fearing that "a merger at the present time would mean a 'sub-merger' for Radcliffe," Mrs. Clifton E. Helman '43, Radcliffe Club of Boston president, said yesterday...

The sub-committee report suggests that PBH require its committees to cover house operating expense, i.e., make up for cut back funds. This proposed financial solution places an intolerable burden on the individual committees which are already on the verge of financial collapse. Without the full faculty subsidy those allegedly professional committees...
