Like the counties and the Governor's Council, archaic limitations on taxation resemble, in the words of a commission several years ago, "a building with a Renaissance frame and a Elizabethan facade." They will require comprehensive, not patchwork reform, and probably only a constitutional Convention could erect such a structure suitable for the 20th century...

Now state university students are beefing again about ROTC and the U.S. Army's archaic training methods. University officials have an other objection: cost. The Government supplies the instructors and equipment, but the burden of administration and providing building space falls on the universities. This year four major universities-Cornell, Puerto Rico, Rutgers, Wisconsin-have dropped compulsory ROTC.* Others are thinking of doing...
