Wertheimer's dissertation, on the utility of semantics for moral philosophy, won the annual award last spring for the best thesis in the Philosophy department.

Sheriff James C. Holzman, Wertheimer's new boss, said the rookie's first assignment will be to suggest revisions in the department manual. "We're not asking him to tell us the proper procedure for stopping a holdup man, for instance, but the concepts that underly the procedures." Holzman stated.

Rid of Kids

Hazen's has extended its campaign to exclude certain "fresh" high school students by imposing a 50 cents minimum charge on all customers served after 2:30 p.m.

Friday afternoon a group of local teenagers who had been refused admission to the restaurant, joined by several Harvard students. formed a picket line telling passers-by to "boycott Hazen's." Owner Frank Hazen said he established the minimum charge after he was informed that he could not legally exclude groups of people that he expects would be trouble makers.

"I try to run a good place. I don't mind the high school kids, but I have an awful problem with them." He said that some 20 or 30 teenagers have used "abusive language" towards his waitresses and have driven away afternoon customers by loitering in his restaurant.

Cambridge Latin student Mike Sylvester said that he and others plan to picket Hazen's today. "No one else in the square has a fifty cents minimum, and it's unfair that Hazen's should have one just to exclude the kids." he said, But he added that Hazen's discrimination against high school students is not exceptional. "There's no place in the Square where we can go for a coke after school. Stores are afraid of high school kids, because we don't spend enough money," Sylvester said.
