When notified of Harvard's new access to the MFA, Professor of History Simon M. Schama said, "Oh good! It's about time."

Schama, who teaches several art history classes that require students to visit the MFA, noted that the admission fee has been waived in the past when his classes arrived en masse. He added, however, that individual "Harvard students were the only ones in the area who had to pay the five dollars."

Philosophy Magazines May Soon Make Debut

Two student magazines dedicated to philosophy may publish their first issues this year, organizers say.

"There is not and has never been a review dedicated to philosophy as far as I know," said Harvard Review of Philosophy President Josh Harlan '93 said.

The Review aims to address topics of wide interest, like abortion or the death penalty, and examine them from a rigorous philosophical perspective, Harlan said.

Assistant Professor of Philosophy Frederick Neuhouser and Porter Professor of Philosophy Robert Nozick will serve as the Review's faculty advisers.

Harlan, a philosophy concentrator from North House, said that the Review will solicit submissions from students and will also seek brief commentaries from professionals. He said that the journal staff plan to distribute around 2500 free copies in March to most of the campus.

The other potential philosophy magazine is still in its early planning stages, said organizer Andy Chao '92.

The organization has not yet been approved by the College, he said. He said the magazine's aim, its faculty advisor and information on how it will differ from the Review will be announced next week.

Local Phone Rates To Rise This Month

Telephone rates will go up for all Harvard students as of October 15 because of a New England Telephone rate restructuring, according to the Harvard telephone office.

For students with measured service, the rates will increase almost a dollar a month, and students will have to pay for every off-campus local call, as opposed to the Harvard phone company's previous offer of 30 free message units.

For students with contiguous service, the rate will increase from $10.93 a month to $13.06. The metropolitan service monthly charge will rise by almost four dollars.

"[New England Telephone] (NET) has raised its rates," a Harvard telephone representative said. "We charge what NET charges, so our rates our going up, too. We get our local services from NET."
