FINALLY, we must condemn Dean Jones for his inexcusable failure to consult the graduate students before announcing the termination of the STS program. His explanation that there was a "problem of time" is simply unconvincing. Jones's disrespect for the rights and interests of the students affected by this decision demonstrate why it was necessary for them to form a union. We demand that the University recognize this union as the bargaining agent for the graduate students and teaching fellows, so that, in the future, they will be assured a role in decisions which directly affect them...
...effort made to find out what freshmen want of their freshman year? Why was no effort made to consult the tutors when the decision on tutors' rents was reached? It is hardly a tenable defense of any particular policy that those unaffected by its potentially adverse consequences find it generally acceptable. The first principle in any attempt to create communities in the Houses in which individuals may express themselves and work together should be that the people most affected by decisions should be among the people most in charge of making them. To cite another example, undergraduate tuition is being...
...wrong to assert that the celebrated breach between Sartre and Camus arose from Sartre's presumed refusal to publish a report on Stalin's concentration camps. If Mr. Jago had bothered to consult the sources, he would have discovered that Sartre had in fact published in Les Temps Modernes in 1947--long before his break with Camus--a report revealing the existence and nature of forced labor camps in the Soviet Union. Thereafter, in editorials, articles and notes--also in Les Temps Modernes--he never ceased to take a stand against the camps. He was "horrified," "enraged," even "obsessed...
...defense has no comparable capacity to force information from witnesses. In addition, the secrecy rule makes it difficult to find out what happened within the grand jury chamber. No judge is even permitted inside, and all witnesses testify alone, though they are occasionally allowed to leave the room to consult with their lawyers, who may wait outside. No formal defense is presented, but a potential defendant is generally permitted to say anything he wishes. Grand juries typically leave the questioning to the district attorney and rarely exercise their power to call witnesses...
...harder to obtain. I, in contrast, do not agree that the truth will make those goals harder to obtain. Moreover, I believe that the truth should influence our thinking in defining social goals. Now, you may dispute whether or not my article is truthful, but first I suggest you consult the large (and rapidly growing) literature on the subject. R.J. Herrnstein...
