While employers could do much to counter the tyranny of diplomaism, colleges and universities could do even more to refine their own goals and purposes. One of the most cogent proposals for an academic rethinking of the relationship between school and work was recently made by a task force on higher education headed by Frank Newman, Stanford's associate director of university relations. Among other things, it recommended that women should be able to take career courses first, so that they can work at least part time during their child-rearing years and return later for their liberal arts studies...
...Kalem's review of Waiting for Godot [Feb. 15] was extraordinarily cogent, searching and just. Confronted with Beckett's grim, masochistic hopelessness, your reviewer felt impelled to cite history's obvious lesson: man has never stopped, only suffered interruptions, in his advance to a more humane world. This is reality...
...scenes, surprising in their candor and spareness, merely show up the longueurs of the rest of the film. The Last Valley wanders into confusion. Caine leaves Sharif in charge of the town, and Sharif, too "humane" to kill the priest and the merchant, falls prey to their machinations.

...hooped-do about listening to mitigating circumstances; in fact, one of the reasons why it denied open hearings was that "greater formality might well lead to less attention being given to mitigating circumstances." This is simply untrue. In the 30 hearings I attended last Spring, I listened to brilliant, cogent, and irrefutable testimony by students who attempted to explain to the Committee why people found it necessary to take the simple non-violent act of blocking University Hall. Never did the CRR give one iota of consideration to any of this...
...more cogent criticism of the show comes from Urie Bronfenbrenner, professor of psychology at Cornell University. "The children [on the show] are charming. Among the adults there are no cross words, no conflicts, no difficulties, nor, for that matter, any obligations or visible attachments," he says. "The old, the ugly or the unwanted is simply made to disappear through a manhole." From the New Left comes the criticism that since the show's emphasis is on achievementlearning letters and numbersit is merely the bottom rung on the escalator to Charles Reich's Consciousness II. From the Old Guard...
