NEWS BRIEFS

The Cambridge City Council has decided that Harvard had better look to its fences-at least to one of them.

At Monday's council meeting, David Eaglesfield, teaching fellow in Social Relations, complained that the temporary fence Harvard put up enclosing most of the Quincy Street sidewalk next to the Gund Hall construction site is forcing pedestrians to walk in the street.

During one five minute period, he said, 33 of 40 pedestrians walked in the traffic lane of Quincy St, because of the fence, which runs down the middle of the sidewalk, leaving only a two-foot walkway a path impaired by several poles.

The council-which issued a permit for the fence several weeks ago-ordered Harvard to build a four foot wooden walk-way next to the construction site, if it wished to retain the fence.

The Harvard Corporation has been meeting weekly through the fall to consider nominations for two vacant seats on the 6-man governing board.

Final decision on the nominations is expected to come sometime in January. The two vacancies were created when William L. Marbury 24 and R. Keith Kane 22 announced their decision to retire next June. In September, the Corporation sent letters to all faculty members seeking recommendations on replacements. Almost 300 nominations have been submitted.
