Six-ing Out

While studying for four exams can be more than enough for most students, one Eliot House resident was scheduled to take six finals at the end of last semester.

"I hurt my back and sicked out of one, but that didn't help because I still had to study for them all," she said. "But other than that I survived."

She said that taking six classes in one semester was not as difficult as might be expected. "You just work really hard, " she said." I've done equally crazy things, like I worked and did a sport and took four classes [at the same time]."

Safe Crossings

Crossing Mass Ave. will get a little easier for Harvard students on their way to Square stores.

The Cambridge City Council recently decided not to put a stop light or a stop sign at the crosswalk across Mass Ave in front of Johnston Gate. Instead, the council issued an order to put a sign telling motorists to yield to pedestrians at the crosswalk.

"We didn't want to put another stoplight because there are about four in a row there," said City Councillor Alice K. Wolf. "But now people don't stop when pedestrians try to cross."

"There will be signs [at Johnston Gate] and hopefully at some of the other crosswalks saying pedestrians have the right of way," Wolf said.

Wing and a Prayer

Hungry students across campus have a lot more to worry about these days than the resumed grind of second-semester classes. For those succumbing to the call of the late-night stomach rumblings, poultry products are no longer an option--at least for the time being.

"Hello, this is Wing-It," an answering machine announces to those calling 783-BIRD in search of the after-hours delivery service. "Well, we had a little grease fire and we're doing some rebuilding. We're going to be opening as soon as possible, so don't forget us. We're doing everything we can in our power to get this thing going again."

Until then, it's pizza, pizza and more pizza.
