...guard spot is the most questionable for the Crimson, with sophomore Ellen Hart not returning. Three newcomers, freshmen Gia Johnson and Susan Field and junior Tamar Atinc are unproven players but represent bright possibilites. To help steady the rookies, Kleinfelder said she will use Curry in the backcourt for a while, though she plans to move the high-scorer up front as the season progresses...
Prospects are not bright for a rational, peaceful solution to the problem of South Africa. Black Africa is determined that majority rule must come to the country. Sooner or later, South Africa will face guerrilla pressure, although its armed forces could easily cope with the early stages of subversion. But an all-out military threat to South Africa could also bring a threat of Soviet involvement?and a dilemma for the West.

Her parents didn't much like the idea of roping her up but didn't think they had much of an alternative.) She is a bright, lonely child who skipped ahead several grades in school and read Nietzsche while her girlfriends giggled over boys. In college Mira comes into her own, speaking her thoughts and expressing her curiousity. The reader resents, as Mira did, the male students' assumption that she is as free with her body...
