Rosenkrantz And Graham Take Their Posts

One of President Bok's first actions after students left Cambridge for the summer was to appoint new masters for Currier House. Barbara G. Rosenkrantz, associate professor of the History of Science, is now master, and her husband Paul Rosenkrantz, a Boston psychologist unaffiliated with Harvard, is co-master.

Bok made the appointment after a three-month search conducted with considerable help form the Currier House Masters Selection Committee last spring. The Rosenkrantz's, who were one of the committee's two final choices, replace co-masters Ursula Goodenough and Paul Levine, who announced their resignation March 5 last year.

President Horner concluded a two-year search in early July, and named Patricia Albjers Graham, a professor of History and Education at Columbia's Teachers' College, as her choice for director of the Radcliffe Institute.

Graham, who will also have a tenured professorship at the Graduate School of Education, was one of 138 applicants for the position. The Institute is one of Radcliffe's nine major departments and uses one-third of Radcliffe's budget.

First Grapes, Then Lettuce, Now Gallo

By the end of the summer, there were no more UFW picketers outside A&P stores in the Boston area, and at least two of its branches in Cambridge were selling iceberg lettuce with the United Farmworkers seal on it. There was no formal agreement between A&P and the UFW, unlike its arrangements with Boston's four other major food chains, but UFW supporters regarded the outcome of their 15-month boycott of A&P as a victory.

UFW activity in the area has by no means ceased however. It has now shifted its emphasis to stopping sales of Gallo wine. Seven major liquor store chains in the area have agreed to UFW demands; the UFW is now negotiating with an eighth, Cappy's. Cesar Chavez, in Boston for a weekend in early August, marked the beginning of the new campaign by appearing at a UFW demonstration on August 3 in front of the Avenue Liquor Mart store at the Fresh Pond Shopping Center.

On the Library, Another Side Is Heard From

It became increasingly clear this summer that Harvard will not present a united front to the world on the question of the construction of the proposed John F. Kennedy Memorial Library. In the first organized expression of the opinion of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences on the matter, 40 of its members sent a letter to President Bok in early July objecting to the effect the library will have on the Square.

The letter, organized by Adam B. Ulam, professor of Government, was similar to one that four law professors supported by over half of the Law School faculty sent Bok in January.

Cyprus Sends Ripples Through Boston Area

The troubles on Cyprus this summer sent ripples towards Boston and even Harvard. Greek Americans in Boston demonstrated and picketed against the Turks and two archaeological expeditions which included some Harvard students fled the island after the Turkish invasion on July 20.

Demonstrations by Greek-Americans in the area became more organized and more virulent as the summer and the action on Cyprus progressed. They began even before the invasion with a July 15 picket line outside the Greek Consulate in Boston to protest the coup that overthrew Cypriot President Archbishop Makarios. At the most recent event, which took place at City Hall on August 13, a crowd of four thousand tore up a Turkish flag to protest the invasion and called for an end to U.S. military and economic aid to Turkey.

Cambridge, too, witnessed one of these protests when 1500 Greek-Americans marched from Central to Harvard Square on July 21.
