Nathan M. Pusey '28, the 82-year-old former president of Harvard, offered his perspective on recent events at the Law School to a Crimson reporter in a recent interview. Pusey, who drew fire for calling in the police to arrest student protesters 20 years ago, compared the Critical Legal Studies (CLS) movement at the Law School to the student protesters of a generation ago. CLS, a radical school of legal thought that stresses the law's biases toward the economically privileged, has divided professors at the Law School and prompted Bok's intervention twice in recent years.

Pusey said, "That faculty in the last 10 years has been going through the kind of thing that Arts and Sciences did way back then [in the 1960s] because of a group in there that feel that law is something that the powers-that-be use not for justice's sake but for their own advantage and that law itself is evil. They're real out-and-out Marxists, these people are."

Yet the former president expressed his hope that the current Harvard administration will be able to contain the CLS movement, saying "But I think Derek [Bok's] gotten on top of that."

"We had the state police lined up, so I said, 'Send them in.' They did. And they cleared right out. That was the end of that."

Hockey Roundup: An assortment of high-profile Harvard administrators were seen in strange terrain during spring break. The Cambridge denizens--including Dean of the Faculty A. Michael Spence and Dean of the College L. Fred Jewett '57--traveled to Minnesota for the Harvard hockey team's appearance in the NCAA Final Four and were pleasantly surprised to see Harvard emerge victorious. The deans even flew back to Boston on the same early-morning plane as the hockey players.

Spence, who was a star hockey player as an undergraduate at Princeton, said in an interview this week that he was excited by the hockey team's victory. He called the game a "win for college athletics" because of Harvard's emphasis on student-athletes.

But he was not strictly parochial in his praise. "I think the Minnesota team, the coach, the athletic director played a hard, clean, very good game," Spence said.

"I can't even describe the feeling. It was unbelievable. I just couldn't believe it."

--Harvard forward Ed Krayer, who scored the game-winning goal in the hockey team's NCAA Championship game.

The Undergraduate Council put the full force of its press relations department behind efforts to draw an audience for last Monday's performances by comedian Jim Karol in various dining halls. Council Chair Kenneth E. Lee '89 personally delivered a council press release to The Crimson marked "for immediate release."

A telephone call placed later in the day to Lee's room revealed this message on the student leader's answering machine: "Ken and Steve aren't in right now, but if this is Jim Karol's assistant, Jim will be performing in the Freshman Union from 5:30 to 6, in Quincy House from 6 to 6:30 and in Eliot House, which was the site of the longest perfomance, is Lee's undergraduate home.

There was a "lack of meaning in the campaign of 1988. The political process isn't really performing, it's not challenging the American people."

--Former Democratic presidential candidate Bruce Babbitt, who spent two days at Harvard this week as a special Institute of Politics fellow.

Protest Watch: When several Crimson editors went to Memorial Church yesterday morning to see what happened with a Divinity School protest there, the scene was filled with media representatives, almost to the exclusion of protesters. One reporter received the demonstrator's mimeographed "statement of purpose" from at least four different students before politely declining a fifth copy. Domenic Bozzotto, head of the dining hall workers' union, Local 26, was on hand to give counsel to the Divinity School students about handling the press--the protesters were seen listening intently to his advice.
