...February 4 Crimson editorial entitled. "Under a Glumping Sky," Edmond Horsey seems to be echoing the comment of the bystander who said. "The march is good. It will point out that the issue isn't racist, it's a busing issue..." This attempt to depoliticize the Dec. 14 March Against Racism destroys its very purpose Racism is not an issue of "nuts and bolts," as Mr. Horsey says, it is an intensely political issue which transcends the boundaries and agencies of the American political system (i.e., election, school committees legislation, etc.).

...weeks after the closed-door meeting began on Dec. 1, Arrupe circulated a letter he had received from Jean Cardinal Villot, the Vatican Secretary of State, informing him that Pope Paul did not want any changes made concerning the vow.

There, a man and boy bound and assaulted four women, made ugly sexual threats and stole $20,000 worth of jewelry. A similar pair invaded homes in Baltimore on Dec. 10 and Dumont, N.J., on Jan. 6. Before Maria Fasching, no one had been killed, but there had been five break-ins by a man and boy in the three-state area within three months. Conceivably, there may have been other incidents: because of embarrassment, women often fail to report...
...savior and tentatively agreed to the deal. But soon $105,000 in foundation checks to the college bounced, and-for the first time-it was discovered that Lowther had been convicted of stock fraud in 1970. Prescott officials called the Illinois attorney general's office, and on Dec. 18 the college suspended operations...
