Aside from its DNA decision, the City Council didn't make too many waves around Harvard this fall. It did demand that Harvard pay an estimated $74,000 annually for the use of the city's sewers, however. What else could Harvard have used?

'Cliffe jocks

Radcliffe's President Horner has taken over a fundraising drive for an athletic facility on Observatory Hill, which the Planning Office had been unable to raise money for--though somehow it's having less problems with the fundraising for the Soldiers' Field Sports Complex. Horner seems to be much more optimistic about finding funds: the designs for the facility are already underway, and the Observatory Hill sports complex seems likely to become a reality in the near future.

Dollars for DuBois

The DuBois Institute for Afro-American Studies--an organization that has frequently been the source of student protest against the University--began a fund drive to raise $6.9 million for an expanded research program.

Next year: $7000

Inflation even penetrates Ivy covered enclaves, as students and parents learned this spring when Dean Rosovsky announced an increase to $7000 for tuition, room and board next year. College students and their parents will not be the only ones to see their bank accounts dwindling and their loan payments accumulating: tuition also will rise at all the graduate and professional schools.

Gifts

Harvard continued to lead American universities in grants from outside the University, receiving $59 million this year.

Funds returned

The School of Public Health returned $132,000 in federal funds after an auditing agent found a grant recipient had overcharged the government. Phin Cohen, former associate professor of Nutrition allegedly involved in the grant misuse, had already left the school's faculty.

Happy birthday, us

The Fogg Museum isn't sitting back and taking its 50th anniversary presents gratefully--it's going out and looking for them. It began a $15.7 million fund drive this year for renovation and expansion.
