Still, Harvard will be far behind the early leads of universities like Caltech, MIT and Stanford, which will be hardest hit by the actual and proposed limitations on publication and exchange of research. In April, the presidents of the three universities formally protested the Department of Defense's announcement that it would be more liberal in classifying scientific research as "sensitive," making it subject to greater restrictions in publication. The presidents have met with officials, including Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger '38, says Allan J. Lindstrom, Caltech's sponsored research director...
...council can point to an impressive record of accomplishments this year; reports have been issued on such issues as free speech, the freshman housing lottery, freshman academic advising, teaching fellows, history course offerings and the ACSR.

To do it right," he says, "you'd have to blind the audience with smoke, deafen them with noise, then shoot one of them in the shoulder to scare the rest to death. That would give the idea, but then not many people would come to the theater...
