...LIVE ADVENTURES OF MIKE BLOOMFIELD AND AL KOOPER (2 LPs; Columbia). Mike Bloomfield makes his singing debut with a couple of Ray Charles songs, among others, and shows a bit of Charles' lilting, hesitating sense of the blues. Bloomfield's forte is still his blues guitar playing, which is at its best on this looser, more spontaneous follow-up to his first performance with Kooper on the LP Super Session...
JOHNNY WINTER (Columbia). According to reports in the trade, Columbia has guaranteed $600,000 over the next five years to this unknown, cross-eyed, albino blues singer from East Texas. Judging by his first album for the company, it may have been a pretty good deal. Johnny's raspy. throaty, wailing voice is perfectly suited to traditional blues, while his lightning-fast finger work, on both electric and acoustic "bottleneck" guitar, can only be compared to the style of such legendary black musicians as Robert Johnson and T-Bone Walker...
...private campuses like Harvard and Columbia, most protesters are basically against the moral indifference of affluent America. Things are far earthier at the tuition-free City College of New York, where the great majority of lower-middle-class students shun protest and still believe in education as salvation -the key to affluence.

"The university has finally come up with a very effective-and invidious-device," said William Kunstler, a lawyer for the students. At least a dozen schools wrote to Columbia for details. "From the university's point of view, the technique is perfect," said L. D. Nachman, a political theorist at the City University of New York. "It will work. It really will work...
Removing the Onus. The court injunction has become about the best legal weapon available to the universities. Within the past few months, it has worked not only at Columbia, but also at the University of Buffalo, Stanford and other schools. The governing body of the university, most often the board of trustees, obtains the court order. The writ usually covers both the demonstrators and opposing groups that might cause trouble. It restrains all persons from taking over buildings or causing other disruption...
