Equipment Failures Cause Interruption Of Paper Delivery

By Jay Yeager

Equipment failures have deprived Harvard subscribers to The New York Times and The Boston Globe of their morning papers three times during Reading Period--last Monday and Tuesday and yesterday.

Mack Gaither '78, manager of the Harvard Delivery News Service, said yesterday that the interruptions in service were due to the breakdown of a Buildings and Grounds cart that is used to deliver the bundles of papers to individual carriers. No replacement vehicle was available, Gaither said.

Gaither said that although the cart would still be disabled this morning, The Globe would be delivered by Globe trucks to the drop-off points. He did not know whether he could make a similar arrangement for The Times.

Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, who helped form the service at the beginning of this year to "preserve some amenities" for students, said yesterday students should be patient despite the inconvenience.
