...after a 4th century German bishop, successfully combines food, service, atmosphere and personality. Its kitchen turns out such specialties as Filet Wellington, Sole Nantua and Kalbsrücken Orloff, a veal steak that serves ten. The wine cellar contains an outstanding assortment of Moselle. The tables are decorated with well-worn pewter, the five public dining rooms provide the kind of labyrinthine privacy that politicians prefer, and the two private rooms are perfect for In-timpolitik. Presiding over all is Owner-Hostess Ria Alzen, a 55-year-old divorcee of quick wit and ready warmth. Because of her, the restaurant...
SOMEWHAT to our surprise, we began to realize early in our deliberations that the gravest current problem in the Graduate School is the one summarized by the well-worn but convenient word "morale." A distressingly large number of graduate students find their experience at Harvard disappointing. They have little sense of belonging to a fellowship, and they keenly miss the enrichments and gratifications that consociation might offer.

...Carol Berman and Patricia Marks discovered that they had similar tastes in clothes, tended to cram their studies into long nights before deadlines, and shared a love of soul music. They even had a similar hangup: Carol sleeps with a "security blanket," while Pat feels lost without her own well-worn pillow. "I'm messy," says Carol, "and so is she." Don Denzin and James Sherry found companionship in a mutual appreciation of Thoreau's Walden and a joint jam session-Don on clarinet, Jim on guitar. Carol Tucker and Lynn McElroy were delighted by the matching because...
Prescriptions for the organization vary, but there is unanimity on one point--the HUC must stake out-a section of the decision-making turf for its own. Conceding academic matters to the HPC, University-Community issues to the Student-Faculty Advisory Council, the HUC is left only with such well-worn or trivial topics as parietals, inter-house dining, and house athletics...
