N.Y.U.'s Hoffman believes that the job of drama schools is to supply trained talent for Broadway and the regional theater. Others, like Yale's Drama Dean Robert Brustein, who until last year was theater critic for the New Republic, hold that the campus theater must be a hub of experimentation and creativity, which, as Brustein sees it, have been forsaken by Broadway in its pursuit of commercial success.

As a start, he is flooding the market with texts, handbooks, tapes and films to help companies cope with Britain's massive new effort to retrain industrial workers. He expects...
Similarly, why should Secretary McNamara meet a critic of the Vietnam war in a debate which would be open to all students and which would, through wide publicity, inform large parts of the public on the opposing views of the war in Vietnam? How much more convenient to meet with small groups of Harvard students in off-the-record sessions! Besides, Mr. McNamara is a busy man and may not have the time to argue government policy in a public forum...
