...administration's short-sighted use of outside police is not of itself an argument for a blanket rule against such use. A situation could arise when even an enlarged campus police force would be inadequate. the best solution, then would be a clear statement by Chancellor Heyns that more restraint will be exercised in the future, that state and city police will no longer be brought in unless serious danger is posed to life, limb or property...
Clogged Channels. The strongest argument for American ombudsmen comes from Columbia Law Professor Walter Gellhorn, top U.S. scholar on the subject. Last week Harvard University Press published two Gellhorn books, one a survey of "citizens' protectors" in nine countries, Ombudsmen and Others ($6.95), the other a U.S. study, When Americans Complain ($3.95).

This, the bishops charged, was an infringement upon "the freedom of spouses to determine the size of their families"-an argument, ironically, that the Planned Parenthood association has always used to defend contraception. The accusation of coercion astounded and outraged officers of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, who insisted that U.S. poverty programs give birth-control advice and assistance only to those...
