...admission. Conspicuous eccentricity has come to replace conspicuous consumption. Entry into the new cults is often free. To cite just one example, "The kids who start the revolutions on campus are rebelling against the cliques they knew in high school--the athletes, the A-students," Wolfe theorizes. "At Berkeley, campus riots have replaced football. Now everyone makes the team...
...loyal and devoted alumnus of Harvard College I am shocked and appalled by your handling of the recent disorders at University Hall. We had all hoped that the lessons of Berkeley and Columbia would be carefully studied by your own wiser and more understanding administration. Surely you and Dean Ford--whom I knew well and admired during my undergraduate years at Lowell House--must have realized that by bringing in the Cambridge Police, bloody violence and mayhem would result, the entire issue would escalate to national proportions and only further radicalization of the hitherto moderate student majority would immediately occur...
...much time on administrative work as they would desire ideally.y It is little wonder, then, that faculty members who grow tired of student unrest simply pick up and leave the university where they have been working, trying to find a calmer place.

...nonendowed foundation, begun by Industrialist Lew is Hill in 1949 "to create new formulas for radio," also has its enemies. In 1963, the U.S. Senate Internal Security Sub committee investigated Pacifica for Communist infiltration. In 1964, the FCC dismissed a battery of complaints against Pacifica, including obscenity charges, after Berkeley's KPFA broadcast readings of poems by Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and a frank talk among eight homo sexuals about their problems and attitudes. The latest and most bitter com plaints were raised early this year after a militant Negro guest on Manhattan's WBAI read an anti-Semitic...
