Business School Newspaper Resolves Personnel Problems

The Business School's weekly studies newspaper. The Harbus News, appears in have reserved a personnel dispute which had prompted its top two editors and most of its writing staff to resign.

The newspaper's student Board of Directors announced last week that a trip of new publishers had been appointed to lead the Harbus and that the on-editor-in-chief and managing editor had been invited to return to their posts.

Brian F. O'Leary '79, the returning managing editor, called the settlement "a perfectly acceptable solution."

Gloria Lars, who will stop down as publisher but continue as president of the paper and chairman of its board of directors, also praised the agreement.

A Different Perspective

However, the former editor-in-chief, David K. Stone, disagreed sharply, indicating he would not reassume his former position.

Said Stone: "Having been stabbed in the back several times before, I am not anxious in let [Lara] stand behind me once again."

The dispute which led to Stone's and O'Leary's resignations last month stemmed from disagreements between the editorial staff and the paper's corporate management over advertising policy and the distribution of commissions on ad sales.

The conflict did not force an interruption of publication, although eight of the paper's regular columnists temporarily went "on strike" in support of their editors.

The three new publishers of the Harbus are Amy Longsworth, Dorian Klein, and Susan Lyon.
