...writing in response to Mr. Peter Shane's article, "Harvard and the BU Five" in his column, "All That's Left", in the Harvard Crimson of Wednesday, October 3, 1973. There are a number of errors of fact and interpretation that require correction...
First, Mr. Shane suggests that the disciplinary codes presently in effect at Boston University were "muscled through" by BU President, John Silber, and that Silber has total control over the procedures in the codes. This is simply untrue. The resolution calling for the provisional codes was called for by the BU Faculty Senate Council, a faculty group representing the entire BU Faculty.

...pure fantasy in the film, however, is the hearing aid Truffaut wears for his characterization of the director. "I could have been thinking of Buñuel," Truffaut said last week in New York, where Day for Night opened the eleventh New York Film Festival. "But actually I had no one particular in mind. For me, the hearing aid is more symbolic. It emphasizes how a director is isolated during shooting, how he hears only things about the film...
