The six-year-old, 16-member group makes recommendations on student fees, teaching, salaries, and departmental expenditure levels to university officers, who have never altered the subcommittee's recommendations. Although students form a minority of the sub-committee, they have full access to financial data, and administrators are usually willing to compromise on tuition hikes and cutbacks...
...from The Crimson, Suze used a student essay containing the phrase "nigger maid" as a prose model. Also, she required that her students read the essay by X.J.

The agreement also contained broad humanitarian declarations in favor of the right of people to leave and enter countries on family visits, access to foreign publications, international youth meetings, and the improvement of working conditions for journalists abroad. Moscow presumably saw nothing too threatening in those principles. After all, far more specific rights are guaranteed in the Soviet-constitution, such as freedom of worship, of the press and of assembly-and those rights have...
