...chronically sore and swollen ankles, and Cavalaris admitted giving him the anti-inflammatory analgesic on Sunday, 144 hours before the race. The drug was actually administered by a veterinarian, Dr. Alex Harthill, who turns out to be something of a controversial figure. Although he is known as "the Derby Vet" for treating such former winners of the race as Carry Back, Northern Dancer and Lucky Debonair, Harthill has twice been implicated in drugging scandals. In 1954, he was suspended "indefinitely" (later reduced to 60 days) by stewards at Chicago's Washington Park for administering a stimulant to a horse...
Four Possibilities. Lou Cavalaris, the trainer of Dancer's Image and a 21-year veteran with an untarnished reputation, admitted last week that he gave his horse Butazolidin six days, or 144 hours, before the Derby. The drug was administered on a vet's prescription-two tablets, forced down the horse's throat with a "balling gun." That was the only time, insisted Cavalaris, that he or anybody in his employ ever administered bute to Dancer's Image. His story suggested that Dancer's Image, through some quirk in his physiological makeup, retained the drug...
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...
