Harvard, ranked 29th nationally, expected the contest to be a neck-in-neck clash of two regional powers, as the 72nd-ranked Eagles (6-4) boasted a solid record against other Ivy teams and featured heavily-recruited transfer Barbara Prevail, a former junior doubles partner of new world No. 1 Martina Hingis. The Crimson's star sophomore Ivy Wang was forced to take on the mysterious phenom...
Before Spring Break, the Housing Office revealed that over 40 percent fewer students applied to transfer houses this spring than at the same time last year. This decline in the number of requests is likely affected by substantial changes in the house transfer process. By introducing new restrictions into the transfer procedure, the Faculty Committee on House Life has made switching houses less attractive. In the past, we have stood consistently against policies, such as randomization, that severely, restrict student choice with regard to living situations. Similarly, we are now concerned about the new house transfer policy, one which...
Until this year, students were able to apply directly to the houses into which they wished to switch. Under this new policy, applicants can only choose the specific house in which they will live only if they are willing to transfer alone or with one other person and if they are moving into a particular rooming group within another house. Students seeking singles and groups of students wishing to switch together can eliminate only two houses (plus their own) in which they do not wish to live, but are then randomly placed among the other nine houses.

Students should have at least some say in an issue that affects their daily lives to the extent that housing does. Total randomization, whether in initial house placement or in house transfer, denies students that input.

The three categories employed by the new procedure, randomized singles, groups and sponsored singles or pairs, are not responsive to the multitude of circumstances under which a student may want to switch houses. Many students...
...LeBow made noise about a possible takeover of cigarette maker American Brands. He lost his resolve but found a profit, making $30 million when he surprised other investors by selling the stock. He made one of his biggest killings early this decade. LeBow had bought the Western Union money-transfer business in 1987, and watched his company sink into bankruptcy in 1991. Then, amazingly enough, he managed to find a buyer for the business a couple of years ago, which allowed him to pay off old debts and emerge with some $300 million in cash--his springboard to the skirmish...
