WHEN Dean Glimp's special committee to study the Administrative Board meets later this month, it will have a chance to make some long-needed changes. The Ad Board needs streamlining. Routine matters--like approving extensions on papers--now take up far too much of its time; the Registrar's office could handle these more efficiently...
Although the Ad Board is responsible for dealing out all College punishment--ranging from Admonitions to Expungements--few students understand its operation until they meet it personally.

A publisher compiles a book that documents little acts of kindness shown by the Nazis toward Jews, and holds a benefit dinner for wives and children of deceased concentration-camp guards; a school play casts ten-year-olds in a staging of Sade's Philosophy in the Bedroom; a teacher encourages the academic achievement of her boy students by rewarding them in an entirely extracurricular manner; a nun appearing on a Joe Pyne-style TV insult program is publicly reduced...
