...particularly illuminating. Former CBS Correspondent David Schoenbrun, now a professor of Vietnamese history at Columbia University, conceded that Greene's "emphasis on civilian targets gave a false impression," but called the film "a useful counterpoint to our own propaganda." Robert Scalapino, who teaches political science at Berkeley, observed that the documentary "did not mention the word 'Communism' once," and summed up that it "presented North Viet Nam as the North Vietnamese Communists would like to have...
Nuggets of New Leftism. As in Detroit, interim papers have popped up in San Francisco, but they have not done very well. The Stanford Daily, which had added wire-service copy and increased its press run, gave up last week. The Berkeley student paper, the Daily Californian, is still struggling. Ramparts magazine has produced a slender daily with the motto: "What good is freedom of the press if there isn't one?" A free press apparently means little nuggets of New Leftism; last week the paper expanded somewhat, adding some Chronicle columnists. Meanwhile, out-of-town papers are enjoying...
Local Constituencies.

Students would sit on the key committees within departments to help shape policy and would also help evaluate the teaching of their professors. These local "constituencies" would then feed into a more representative-and entirely reorganized-student government and faculty academic senate...
...issue of how the university should maintain order at Berkeley-assuming that dialogue will not resolve all tensions-the report proposed that the chancellor should not get directly involved with administering campus discipline. Under the present system, it argued, the chancellor appears to be both prosecutor and judge, which inevitably makes him seem like the students' adversary. Instead, the committee suggested that a new set of campus regulations, subject to the chancellor's veto, should be drawn up by a rules committee representing faculty, students and administration. Violators would be brought to a judgment before a student-conduct...
...rapist, then promptly changes her mind when Benjamin denies the charges. Seriously questioning neither version of the affair (and our knowledge of Mrs. Robinson makes hard to imagine Elaine believing her mother in the first place), Elaine's amazing malleability and flirtatious indecision toward Benjamin when he arrives at Berkeley remain almost entirely unmotivated. At the same time, her behavior becomse increasingly important, as the action of the film hinges directly on her reactions to Benjamin, reactions we can only chalk up to excessive unexplained femininity...
