...Holcombe case was a harbinger of greater troubles in the Harvard kitchens. Frustrated by the racist policies of dining hall manager Buford Simpson, a restrictive summer hiring policy and the intimidation of shop stewards by Simpson and others, nearly one hundred workers walked off their jobs during a lunch hour several weeks ago. The repercussions of the walkout were predictable--all the workers who participated were punished with warning slips on their records, and three shop stewards were suspended.

On at least two occasions (11/7/75, 10/22/75) when Harvard charged that Mr. Glass was late, it exaggerated considerably his tardiness...
