...that engage in this practice while they are here), you can walk around all puffed up and properly conceited. It may, of course, be the fault of the students, but there is simply not much going on here, in terms of diversity of student organizations. The black students' organizations appear to be on their way out, unless somebody finds some money this year, and the DuBois Institute for Afro-American Studies is also reported to be having its problems...

As a financially independent newspaper, The Crimson can control its own editorial policies, often to the dismay of the "authorities."

In Los Angeles, Linda Ronstadt skated to a luncheon date with Governor Jerry Brown. On the boardwalk in Venice, Calif., a thousand skaters may appear on a Sunday, navigating perilously among pedestrians, while rolling guitarists serenade the sunbathers. In Minneapolis, the owner of Rolling Soles, Scott Sansby, 27, finds skating a practical means of transportation. "I tie my shoes to my belt loops and take off on my skates," he says.
