...Carlson and his hard-working trustees proposed a topnotch science center and engineering college on Long Island, the regents said no. It was not until last week that, because of "recent developments abroad.'' the regents changed their minds. Though Carlson won his fight for a $250 million bond issue last fall, it was over the opposition of both the regents and the governor. He battled hard to keep the liberal-arts campus of Champlain College within the university system, but the campus was turned over to the Air Force as a SAC base...
...Th.M., Th.D.. Ph.D., was a scholarly, dedicated-looking gentleman. His plans for setting up a liberal arts college, a Bible college, a college of engineering, and schools of home economics, business, agriculture, journalism and law were certainly impressive, and so was his talk of a $1,600,000 bond issue that two Texas insurance firms were to buy to finance the new Belin Memorial University (named for Belin's mother). The Chillicothe State Bank was only too happy to lend Belin $14,000 without security, and local merchants could not do enough to get the university...
...said on selection that his firm's dealings with the Teamsters Union would not affect the impartiality of his verdict, held out adamantly for acquittal. His reason: the U.S. Government had failed to make its circumstantial evidence stick. Though Jimmy was free to go (on $2,500 bond), he was by no means out of the courtroom woods. Ahead lie: 1) outcome of a suit by 13 rank-and-file Teamsters, who maintain that Jimmy was illegally chosen president of the union last Oct. 4, 2) disposition of a federal perjury indictment, 3) the certainty that the Government will...
...Bags & Insults. Disregarding recommendations of his own citizens' committee (which suggested a bond issue and such new service charges as a trash-collection and auto users' fee), the mayor and his nine-man city council adopted an income tax ordinance without a public vote. Shouts of outrage echoed in the Rockies, as the Denver citizenry dramatized memories of the Boston Tea Party by waving tea bags at protest meetings and crying, "No taxation without representation!"* Newspapers took sides, and, surprisingly, the hard-hit Chamber of Commerce, figuring that the tax would drive still more people into the suburbs...
...editors, only a dozen of whom are men. A literary agent who has worked long in this field says that "with a few possible exceptions, all of them are slightly nuts." Many of the editors are former schoolteachers or former librarians, and there appears to be a bond of rare sympathy between them and such organized groups as the American Library Association. A.L.A. issues a bimonthly list of "approved" children's books for the "guidance" of its 21,000 members. Since the librarians control the bulk of institutional book buying in the U.S., and some publishers count on school...
