...place to look for the Soviets, TIME has learned, is 300 miles north in a remote corner of Baluchistan, near Zahedan, where the Iranian, Pakistani and Afghan frontiers meet to form a triangular no man's land. For centuries, the mountainous border area had been controlled by fierce Baluchi tribesmen, who freely traverse the borders of the three countries.

The article directly below the rate hike story mentions that "...University officials refused permission for the triangular yard in front of Kirkland House..." as a possible site for a proposed college-wide rock concert to be held April 26. The alternative site is the Radcliffe Quad, for which Dean Epps has already given his approval. However, the Quad is located in the midst of a residential neighborhood, and any loud rock concert on a Sunday afternoon would surely be annoying to some of the Quad's neighbors...
