...Young Democrats claim some 100,000 members on U.S. campuses; the Young Republicans, 150,000. The conservative Young Americans for Freedom has 25,000; the radical leftist Students for a Democratic Society is much smaller-5,500 members-but more influential. What it lacks in size, the S.D.S. makes up in zeal and ability to play the press for headlines. Typically, the S.D.S. has only 60 active members among 4,700 students at Princeton, but it is the biggest partisan organization on campus, and one of its highly committed members was elected chairman of the undergraduate assembly last week...
...Victory Claim. Obviously chary of capitulating to the demonstrators, Columbia officials seemed equally reluctant to regain control of their university. The students refused to quit their posts without a promise of general amnesty for all demonstrators-a condition that President Kirk rejected. Failure to take disciplinary action, Kirk insisted, would "destroy the whole fabric of the university community." But the school yielded on at least one important point. At the urging of New York City Mayor John Lindsay, it announced that it would temporarily suspend construction of the disputed gymnasium. Still the students refused to budge...
Combat photography has become almost a commonplace, an adjunct to the 6 o'clock news and weather. A Face of War, though, has a rightful claim to be judged as art: it is a documentary in the great tradition begun by Civil War Photographer Matthew B.

Cut off from most new weaponry since the five-week border war with India in 1965, except for a few Communist Chinese planes and tanks, Ayub feels that the balance of subcontinental power is tilting in favor of India-and remains unconvinced by Russia's claim that India's arsenal is only for use against Red Chinese invaders. Furthermore, Pakistan wants the Soviets to lift their U.N. Security Council veto on discussion of Kashmir, the disputed Indian-held state of largely Moslem complexion. Ayub wants to settle its status by plebiscite, demands at least that...
...called for a national day of prayer and a study commission. We have the admirable results of the study commission and hopefully will not now be left only with prayer. In the Commission's words there must in fact "...be no higher priority for national action and no higher claim on the nation's conscience," for "to continue on our present course will...ultimately involve the destruction of basic democratic values." As one pundit grimly pointed out, the last time urban change was left to the Lord was at Sodom and Gomorrah. Gary T. Marx Assistant Professor of Sociology
