They maintained they could not break even on dances if they had to pay both a band and $50 for a one-night license. So they chanced the wrath of the Cambridge Police Department--it seemed a pretty safe bet.

But, then, what do Fred and Gene know about marking up Senate bills or pursuing points of order...
...each Harvard department or institution. What do these committees do? Well, they visit. They talk to students and faculty, bring in experts, and issue a report after it's all over. The Overseers do little else, except provide Harvard fund-raisers with a ready-made group to tap. Their president, Andrew Heiskell, is also chairman of Time, Incorporated...
