...rent control referendum group, which is backed by the Cambridge Peace and Freedom Party, has attacked the housing convention's efforts to have the City Council pass a rent control law. The referendum group charges that the council will, at best, approve only a weak rent control...
Since 1964, the Sudan's regime has been dangerously weak but relatively democratic-unlike the militant dictatorships so common in the Arab World. Last week, at the beginning of the season of blazing desert heat, the Sudan's moderate but often corrupt civilian leaders were overthrown in a coup that was brought off with the suddenness of a Khartoum haboob.

Harvard's defensive unit was statistically about the most porous in the league, though it did not really seem that weak at all. Don Gogel, Bill Bennett, Pete Barber, Bob McDowell, Gino Giancola, and some more sophomores will return to make the defense fairly solid. An interesting battle will be between goalies John Cosentino and Kirby Wilcox. Wilcox was to have started again this season, but an injury put him out early...
