...ACSR, however, will be losing most of its most liberal members and should be quite dormant this fall as the new people familiarize themselves with the different issues. Once it does get going, though, it is likely to press the Corporation on the statement spokesman Hugh Calkins '45 made that Harvard does not look at any ethical factors (i.e., labor conditions, wages) before it invests in companies. Calkins, after ACSR members attacked that policy, said that the Corporation would investigate the feasibility of pre-screening companies before the University buys shares in them...

...Chicago surprise was made possible by the swelling involvement of a traditionally dormant group-the Blacks. If a similar rebellion of outsiders against White's cynical politics takes place, two candidates stand to benefit-South Boston City Councilor Raymond D. Flynn and Black South End State Representative Melvin H. King. Both have fared well in low-income and minority areas in the past, and both, like Washington in Chicago, have made the machine a major target of their campaigns...
