...FLUKE, By George has to be a happy one; if a precedent, it should be praised to the skies. By which I don't mean to invite a chain of one-man Bernard Shaw impersonations, but of other free entertainments equally worthwhile. A tall order, maybe, but not hopelessly impractical. Not quite. Even though the audience had a corporate windfall to thank for last night's open house, more of the same could conceivably come about through the long-term machinations, of the English faculty and the Loeb administration, particularly if their efforts were backed up by a small allotment...

Only 8,000 of the U.F.T.'s 55,000 members bothered to vote to approve a walkout, but most of them...
Last spring, Rhody McCoy, unit administrator of the Ocean Hill district, asked Superintendent of Schools Bernard E. Donovan to transfer ten teachers out of the district schools. Donovan agreed to move the teachers if McCoy avoided making a public issue of the transfer. But McCoy wanted more than the removal of the ten instructors. Seeking a public confrontation over the community's right to hire and fire, McCoy publicly accused the teachers of incompetence and of sabotaging the district's experiment in community control. The union demanded a hearing and the issue was joined...
