No Changes

The Faculty Council decided this week not to recommend any changes this year in the academic calendar--but that hardly means Harvard is going to forget about its energy problems for a year.

Last year there wasn't enough fuel; this year there isn't enough money, and as a result administrators are aiming for a brisk 65 degrees as the median temperature in the Houses and classrooms this winter. Last year the median was about 68, and the reason for the lowered temperatures is to cut costs in order to trim the Faculty's deficit-laden budget.

During Christmas vacation, dorm temperatures will dip to about 55 degrees, as they did last year.
