Although many students don't like the food, the committee reported that few ever complain to dining hall supervisors. McLoughlin said that students were generally apathetic, and added, "There isn't a real mandate to throw out the food services...
...they checked carcasses for skull fractures (meaning instant death, hence no skinning alive), shooed away unlicensed hunters and tallied the kill. The resulting hunt, says Fisheries Minister Jack Davis, is "probably more humane than most deer hunting." But no newsmen seem to go to the front, where Canadian swilers complain that their Norwegian competitors are still hooking pups with gaffs and skinning them alive. Nor is the annual gulf hunt, contrary to accusations, decimating the herd (although the limitless kill on the front is). Yet no matter how many explanations they make, Canadian officials are unable to quell the uproar...

Alarmed critics complain about shaky financial foundations, untested managements, dubious use of tax loopholes and overconcentration of economic power. Last week conglomerates ran into simultaneous and serious attack from both Congress and the Nixon Administration. The assault will almost certainly lead to new laws to control the conglomerate movement. "We're going after this," says a ranking White House adviser. "Otherwise, we'd have an economy like the Japanese, with certain large families owning...
