Harvard's depth in the event was apparent as Kyle Egan placed ninth, finishing 1:48.19, and co-captain Mike Groves took 15th, touching at 1:51.58. Senior Greg Walker then placed second in the men's platform diving with a final score of 402.70 points...
Gusmorino has contacted the committee and has discussed the search with Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 and others.

In the final days of the conference, the Americans decreased their demands for counting natural carbon sinks first to 150, then 125, 75, 50, and finally to 40 million tons--slightly more than 10 percent of the original demands. The Europeans approached the U.S. by granting them a meager 25 million tons...
