...greatest barrier of all is Harvard's policy toward transfers. I often get the feeling that the administration believes that we really don't deserve the same respect and fair treatment as students who came here as freshmen. But because we missed the first year, the University has all the more reason to make sure we thoroughly enjoy the "Harvard experience." However, transfers are affiliated with Dudley House and placed in off-campus housing like Botanical Gardens (a.k.a. Watertown), or Peabody Terrace. Geographically and socially, we are on the dull edges of the Harvard community...
...undeniable drawback to Mevacor, at least from the patient's standpoint, is its high price. A single 20-mg pill goes for $1.64, and a year's treatment can cost up to $3,000. Says Congressman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat who chairs the House Health and Environment Subcommittee: "Merck, like other big drug companies, has been raising prices dramatically and has introduced new drugs at shockingly high prices." Even drugs whose patents have long expired remain expensive. A bottle of 60 25-mg tablets of Merck's arthritis- fighting Indocin sells in New York City...
Canada's Fitness and Sport Minister, former Skater Otto Jelinek, apparently agreed, and asked O.C.O. to "cease and desist" from harassing small companies that were clearly not hurting the licensing efforts. O.C.O. has taken added lumps over public suspicions that it is elitist -- giving sponsors & preferential treatment on tickets and accommodations, being more interested in playing host to such visiting royalty as Norway's King Olav, Spain's Juan Carlos and Monaco's Prince Rainier than it is in the people of the host city. "I hope the Games do show a profit," says Reg Brown, 44, a rancher outside...
...while we agree that it is important to periodically examine the quality and scope of the services provided by UHS, it is unfortunate that this week's survey will leave little room for more specific complaints about the treatment delivered by UHS. The survey's statistical focus will evaluate the different kinds of care offered by UHS, rather than the quality of care as told by personal anecdotes. And with the steady stream of student dissatisfaction with campus health care, UHS should pay more attention to complaints on a continual basis, not just at survey time...
...survey of a random 10 percent sampling of undergraduates provides the perfect opportunity to gauge how many perceived cases of poor treatment have occurred during the last four years. We can only hope that the receptiveness UHS has shown for student opinion on the type of health care provided will translate into reform in areas where students feel they have been given poor treatment...
