...cheap energy that began early in 1986 already over? That question arose last week as the price of crude oil on the New York futures markets edged past $20 per bbl. for the first time in 17 months. Industry experts said traders have been jittery about increased conflict in the Persian Gulf region, which supplies 20% of the oil consumed by the Western nations, since the attack on the U.S.S. Stark by an Iraqi plane last month...

...they are nothing more than wrestling matches between protesters on the one hand and the Conservative Club (backed up by the University's disciplinary and law-enforcement machinery) on the other. The events are always conducted in an atmosphere of siege, complete with police, security men, video cameras, and crude intimidation by rattling the RRR [Resolution on Rights and Responsibilites] sabre. Needless to say, this flexing of administrative muscle never works, and when a predictable "disruption" occurs, Dean Epps swings into action as the Conservative Club's prosecuting attorney. The end benefit, apart from the gagging of student dissent...
