Bow Stays Open While Fight To Keep it in the Square Continues

Despite facing impending eviction since this January, the Bow and Arrow Pub and the Dunkin' Donuts in Harvard Square will remain open--at least for one more month.

And L. Stuart Rosenberg, a first year public policy student at the Kennedy School of Government, intends to keep it that way.

Rosenberg, who organized the "Save the Bow" rally on Feb. 17, is now vying to be a student representative on the board of directors of the Harvard Cooperative Society, which owns the building.

And regardless of the election's outcome, Rosenberg is trying to take his campaign to the powers-to-be at the Coop, hoping he can persuade them to take an active role in keeping the Bow and Dunkin' Donuts as Square landmarks.

In With the New, Out With the Old?

The controversy surrounding the property began late last year, when patrons of the Bow learned the bar, and the Dunkin' Donuts store which shares its building, were going to be forced to vacate the premises during a period of renovation.

Extensive internal and external renovation has already begun on the building, but has not yet reached the level that requires the businesses to leave.

That day will come, assures Coop President Jeremiah P. Murphy Jr. '73, and the stores will inevitably have to leave, at least temporarily. And that makes the real issue whether or not they will be able to return.
