...FIXER. "I am a man who, although not much, is still much more than nothing," proclaims the accidental hero of this drama of social commitment and political responsibility. Under the brilliant direction of John Frankenheimer, Alan Bates, Dirk Bogarde and Ian Holm often approach perfection in their difficult roles...
...President's European consultations are part of a new stance toward the Soviet Union, an approach that is coming to be known in Washington as "total diplomacy." By building Western unity, President Nixon hopes to strengthen the U.S. position across the spectrum of common concerns with the U.S.S.R.

Sitting in against Dow or ROTC has far different import than cheating on exams or stealing from the Coop. It is not helpful or even possible to treat political demonstrators in the same way as cheaters or shoplifters. Dean Peterson argued at last Tuesday's Faculty meeting that to exempt the Paine Hall demonstrators from scholarship reduction would create an unfair distinction between political and non-political probations...
