...however, Pusey asserted a view the CRIMSON has quarreled with twice in the past month. Speaking on whether Harvard should allow unlimited television coverage of events here, he said "to use technology to assert a point of view is contrary to the principles of the University." This disposition to avoid marginally associating the University with a controversial view was what we found objectionable in the decision of Pusey and the Corporation not to let the Harvard University Press publish J. D. Watson's The Double Helix. And we earlier objected to the University's refusal to allow WGBH to cover...
...appeal of a disruptive (as opposed to a peaceful) demonstration Friday is that it would clearly test the University's tolerance of violent dissent. Veterans of the October sit-in should avoid the fallacy that they have to prove their sincerity by playing confrontation politics with the Administration. They would be indulging in the same mindless, reflex escalation they rightly deplore in this country's Vietnam policy...
...looser interpretation of the accords might avoid part of this mess, but to the chagrin of the Americans, the Indians, as ICC chairmen, have applied the unanimity provisions to the hilt.

The Indians felt approval had to be unanimous and to secure Polish support, engineered a compromise which drastically limits the ICC role to investigating "specific complaints" after the fact...
...other high-frequency plaintext vowels, a, i and o, tend to avoid one another. A contact chart would show that three of the most common letters in the ciphertext -O, U and A-are the most mutually exclusive. OA appears twice, OU once, and UO, UA, AO and AU not at all. But NU appears five times in the cryptogram. It happens that the most frequent English vowel diagraph is ea. Thus it is a good bet that U = a. Similarly, since the combination io is most frequent among the three dissident vowels in English, assume that it is represented...
There is much strength in the arguments of Richard Gill against the resolution adopted by the Student-Faculty Advisory Council last Tuesday, which recommends the postponement of Dow Chemical's imminent visit. However, the Council had a definite, simple and limited objective: to avoid a new confrontation not only between the students and the company but also between the students and the University, so as to give to the Council's members a chance to work dispassionately toward the adoption of a common policy on recruiting (a subject on which there are at present very strongly opposed views, based...
