Chris Hart, a sophomore, wrote the third item on the bill, vet another modern work called Play, a title which has been pretentious for several years now Hart, who oddly enough directs and stars as well, casts vet another glance at that eternally popular topic: who is insane, society or the non-conformist? Society, typified by Bruce (Hart), wears a tuxedo, goes to college, talks in TV commercial slogans. Bruce's friends are Harry (Nathan Taylor), who likes to screw girls, and Erica (Barbara Lanckton), who goes to bed with Harry and later slits her wrists when the world becomes...
...Administration has vet to explain why the dining hall must be closed for eight months. It doesn't make sense that Harvard is unable to enlarge the kitchen, remove the steamtables, and install a dish return tunnel during the summer of 1969, especially since Harvard summers are four months long. Since the Administration has offered no other evidence, it seems that money lies at the root of this problem: it's probably cheaper to close the dining hall for eight months. Yet, even granting that construction plans for Mather House require that the dining hall be closed, the plans could...
...much has happened in the project. There was a weekend brainstorming session in January and the project divided into subcommittees, but the student interest needed to launch the study hasn't vet surfaced. And the project hasn't been received with particular cordiality by the Administration. Dean Glimp said last week he still thinks "there is a real chance that the project has such an elaborate superstructure they won't get anything done." The project overlaps with the work of the Dunlop Committee, a group of seven professors now completing a year-long study of the problems of hiring...
Great Disparity. Even in terms of Government-financed veterans' benefits, the Vietvet makes out worse than his counterparts of earlier wars. Whereas the World War II vet who wanted to further his education got full tuition, fees and book costs plus $75-a-month living allowance, the returnee from Viet Nam can expect a maximum of only $130 a month to cover everything. Currently, there are 450,000 returnees receiving G.I. schooling benefits. They enjoy slightly brighter job prospects than did their predecessors, largely because the U.S. economy is stronger than ever before. Last year the U.S. Employment Service...
...Cambridge, for instance, although the Irish had been staunchly hawk, the Italians had been outright anti-war or at least eager to listen to the CNCV's arguments. At the same time, the immigrant sections have been very vulnerable to counter-canvassing on the part of the Veterans. The Vet leaflet, which included a picture of an American flag and a short statement about "Freedom is not free," seemed to strike a responsive and ever guilty chord in many Italians. CNCV canvassers found that on Saturday, when the Vet literature began to circulate, the Italians became less prone to long...
