...messianic zeal untempered by intelligent skepticism. What can one say to an organization that admits an occasional failure and states with pride, "We have probably made by now all the mistakes that can be made in programming?" Is that good? More to the point, is it necessary? I would claim not. I would suggest that intelligence and a highly developed self-critical faculty can very often avoid the necessity for learning by making all the mistakes that can be made. Louis J. Cutrona...
Last week, the Council, by a vote of 25 to 6, asked the Administration to postpone the February 23 recruiting visit of the Dow Chemical Corporation. But again the Council made no claim at having discussed the larger issues involved--recruiting policies or the "rights and modalities of student protest." The Council asked for the postponement until its members had had a chance to reach "common positions" on such issues...
...counsellor's first job is to see if the person is eligible for one of the 13 Selective Service deferments. If not, Hunt recommends a multi-issue approach for several months before the probable induction date: make a claim for conscientious objection (even if it is unrealistic it will waste time and tends to lessen the jail sentence if you eventually refuse induction), begin seeing a therapist and complain about your fears of entering the army, engage in anti-war activities, write a series of indignant and inflammatory letters to your draft board...
...first it looked like a suicidal venture. Many insured loans, notably those on apartments and unsold new homes, proved to be overly speculative; more important, M.G.I.C. was not yet insisting-as it now does-on writing all policies with an option permitting it to pay only 20% of a claim in cash while leaving the mortgage lender to take over foreclosed property. Allowed initially to operate only in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota, M.G.I.C. lost $64,000 in its first year. In 1959, Karl shrewdly tied his fortunes to those of S & Ls, which had just won authority to make loans...
...Ecuador Volunteers cite the view that Peace Corps policy is motivated by the U.S. "world wide struggle against communism, not by a genuine desire to help poor nations" but they offer no evidence for the charge. This indictment amounts to a new claim of guilt by association. For all its faults the Peace Corps is the best thing that this nation is doing abroad, and to tar it with the brush of "arrogance" and "colonialism" merely because it is an agency of the U.S. government strikes me as both unsophisticated and dishonest. Efrem Sigel '64 Associate Managing Editor, 1964; Peace...
