Before the war, women were admitted to the union only in such exceptional cases as the Yale game weekend. What was then an unpopular policy is today an unfortunate one. Yardlings are no longer all straight from high school and beyond question deserve the same privileges as occupants of the Houses enjoy. And at a time when veterans and the increased number of commuters emphasize the are-old disunity of Harvard student-bodies, the Union should not add itself to the list of social facilities the University lacks...
...major services contributing to the overall effort. With post-war birth of veterans' privileges, the question of who deserved what and why has exposed the Merchant Seamen to a sustained attack from old-line veterans' organizations and from the conservative press, which would use a drive against the unpopular maritime labor organizations as an opening wedge in a drive to discredit the advances of industrial unionism. Hanson Baldwin, naval expert of the New York Times, last week traced a whole epidemic of wartime sins to the activities of sea-going unions, and continued to east a good deal of doubt...

Herbert Morrison, the unpopular Lord President of the Council, sums up the government views, and launching off on a tangent, is almost caught up by opposition speakers, but is saved by a ruling from the speaker. As dinnertime approaches, a recess is declared and the members quickly empty the chamber...

Surprisingly, several well-known names, too closely associated with unpopular movies, add to a picture's Don't-Want-to-See. Popular supporting players sometimes help. In rare instances, so does a director, like Alfred Hitchcock...
...company, with added shades of Uriah Heep. In the case of the present business manager, this picture is not accurate and less than fair. For in a postwar confusion that has the veteran student in a tight economic squeeze, Aldrich Durant is forced to voice, administer, and often defend unpopular fiscal policies that stem from the sacrosanct provinces of Harvard's Olympian body, the Corporation. Most of the recent rent and board increases were settled in the semi-monthly meetings of the Corporation, meetings at which all outsiders, from Dean to doorman, are barred. Durant must accept...
