...lengthy article in the Sept. 26 CRIMSON on the Cambridge Project struck me in many ways as good. engaged reporting. The Harvardian reference to MIT as the "house whore" of the Defense Department struck me as undue protestation, however, and not totally accurate. We have freely sheltered. even nourished a number of polite and not so respectful crities of DOD. including Jerome Weisner, Richard Goodwin, W. W. Kaufman and Noam Chomsky...
...student adheres to a few very general rules. Parties must be kept at a reasonable level so that Cambridge police don't need to be called, and practical regulations (rules governing the hours girls are allowed into Harvard rooms) must be upheld.

Foxy good sense, a plaguy gout, a dash of smarmy lechery and a few jokes about electricity-that is all one needs for Franklin. And that is precisely what one gets...
...unbelieving townies turned around and growled, "Screw you, Mac." But, after all, Eliot House is surrounded by walls and sheltered by tradition. There are no windmills in the courtyard and the archway is guarded. "He's a proud lion," says one Eliot House senior in a rare Harvardian burst of sentiment. "I respect...
