...business ever since the fall of 1966 when they made over (over!) $100,000 profit from their parody of Playboy (who, by the by, printed it for them and helped them get ads from their own regulars). To say that the Lampoon has been in collusion with the corporate complex of this country's industrial power brokers would be a waste of idealistic breath...
...Glassman, however, has directed his criticism primarily toward other questions. He is nostalgic for the less complex university of a by one era in which crucial contributions to knowledge could be made by isolated individuals with simple tools. He views with alarm the more extensive research programs now underway and fears that they have somehow been packaged for "sale" to the government.

He suspects that even though these research programs are not classified, their subjects have...

That is, already one should visualize the tuition as going into a general fund used to support what the Corporation calls the "University." That complex may then exist and thus give one the opportunity to benefit from the use of a few of its myriad functions and facilities. What share a student should pay to perpetuate the entire community is a somewhat arbitrary decision. Right now I feel it is based on a hierarchy...
