...last week, the cry went up in 181 cities across the nation to kick off a final drive for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution. Only one year remains until the deadline set by Congress. Supporters of ERA chanted in New York, prayed in Atlanta, held candlelight vigils in Fort Lauderdale. The stars came out in Los Angeles (Singer Helen Reddy), in Boston (Author Jules Feiffer) and in Denver (former First Lady Betty Ford). In Washington, D.C., a crowd of 2,500 cheered when Actor Alan Alda declared: "You don't have to be conservative...

If music be the food of love, one might be tempted to tell the circling violinists to play on. The problem is the tip: $5, up 900% from the 50? that would have satisfied a '50s fiddler. Dom Perignon champagne, to celebrate a month...
...Assembly rush to demand Bok's reassertion of the goal of diversity in admissions? What about draft registration, especially the university's role in turning over names? What about student input into tenure decisions, especially for Skocpol and Lange? Finally, the Student Assembly refused to endorse the El Salvador candlelight march despite polls showing student support and some 1400 signatures on petitions. The committee concerned did not "have tiem" to debate the merits and demerits of the struggle in El Salvador. Apparently, obtaining toilet paper for the river houses and throwing cocktail parties at 33 Dunster Street are the Assembly...
