Keeping Track will appear from time to time in The Crimson with short items of conceivable interest to Harvard and Cambridge residents. Suggestions and comments are welcomed. Compiled by Jim Hershberg.

"Frankly, I'm confused," writes Mark A. Anderson, president of the Scholastic All-American Honor Society. "The Scholastic All-American Search has begun, but nobody at your school seems to know about it."

The SAAHS is described by Anderson as a "small, exclusive, nonprofit organization founded to recognize scholarly achievement at the undergraduate and graduate collegiate levels." He is perturbed that no Harvard students have bothered to apply for membership this fall, and urges students of all backgrounds, who "possess a wide range of scholarship and talent," and who are "committed to the goals of academic freedom and excellence" to send self-addressed, stamped envelopes (or SASEs, as they are known in the trade) to P. O. Box 237, Clinton, N. Y. 13323. Oh, one more thing...it costs $10 to join, and dues are $10 every two years.

Shuttle bus riders who have noticed B&G workers at the steering wheel need not worry that the customary student drivers are on strike, as they periodically threatened to do last winter. The workers are filling in because of a temporary shortage of licensed student drivers. Carl Swanson, who oversees shuttle services as B&G superintendant, says he hopes to have students in all the driving positions within the next few weeks. The students get about $5 per hour on the job, compared to $16 per hour for B&G workers, Swanson said.

State sources confirm that the oversees' committee of the Massachusetts Bar Association has launched an investigation into the conduct of Kenneth Erickson '69, a University real estate lawyer who allegedly misrepresented himself when attending a meeting of Harvard tenants. The Board of Bar Oversees-who could ultimately censure Erickson or ask for his disbarment-will not permit either side to comment publicly while the case is in progress.

City Council candidates promising to support the right of all tenants to buy apartments as condominiums may win campaign support from the Cambridge Condominium Network, a newly formed city political group. The CCN has yet to endorse formally candidates for the November 3 election, but another local group-the Cambridge chapter of Citizens for Participation in Political Action-released its slate of council candidates last week. The liberal CPPAX gave the nod to Mary Ellen Preusser, Francis Duehay '55, Alice Wolf, David Sullivan, Saundra Graham and Wendy Abt. That slate mirrors the Cambridge Civic Association (CCA) ticket, except for the omission of tenant advocate Bob White.

The White House made it official this week. It publicly announced the appointment of Christopher C. DeMuth '68, who until accepting a spot in the Reagan administration was a lecturer in Public Policy at the HKSG (or whatever) and also, for a time, director of the Harvard Faculty Project on Regulation.

As previously reported, DeMuth's new milieu is the Office of Management and Budget, the nerve center of administration budget-slashing headed by David Stockman (Div School '70). DeMuth's title is administrator for information and regulatory affairs, and-a bonus-executive director of the President's "Task Force on Regulatory Relief."

It's regulatory "relief" rather than regulatory "reform" (the old term' because the idea is to provide relief to business by removing government regulations. As a former head of the Ripon Society (young Republicans) and aide in the Nixon Administration, DeMuth is expected to facilitate the process of "deregulating" the economy, though his friends here say DeMuth is no ideologue and will give "reasonable" regulations a fair go-over.

Note: The White House press release describing DeMuth's background referred to the "Harvard" rather than "Kennedy" School of Government.
