Dancing to everything from the beat of "I'm Just a Girl" to the sway of "My Funny Valentine," 10 student organizations performed at the first annual Dance Day in Lowell Lecture Hall last night...
Cheaper, louder, and open later than Noch's, Tommy's House of Pizza holds substantial sway over the Harvard late night life. To "go on a Tommy's run" means to walk down to Mt. Auburn Street any day of the week until 3 a.m. and buy a large slice of hot, greasy and (debatably) delicious pizza for $1.25.

But such words of pathos seemed to hold sway neither over the police nor the rebels inside, who once again warned police away with a spray of gunfire. A bullet hit one of the carriers, but no injuries were reported; the commandos, defiant, returned for another march a half-hour later. Rebels, still holding 72 hostages, accuse police...
