Combine this with the fact that in the past, VES majors and other Harvard artists have enjoyed only very limited contact and interchange among themselves. Carpenter Center is the only building in the Western Hemisphere by famous architect Le Corbusier. Artistically it is an incomparable treasure, a feather in Harvard's cap; yet its imposing structure does not encourage aggregation or socializing. Film and photography students who work in the building's basement and studio artists from the upper floors rarely see each other. This isolation has been compounded by the lack of all-department events and activities...

Even with these fixes, union chiefs reject the guidelines, which they contend limit wages much more rigidly than prices. Last week the 22,000-member Western Pulp and Paper Workers sued in federal court in Portland, Ore., to have the standards declared illegal. The charge: the program is mandatory, and the President has no congressional authority to impose it. United Auto Workers President Douglas Fraser insists that the only way to win labor's support would be for Congress to enact the President's proposal granting tax rebates to obedient union members and other groups if the inflation...
