Hinman, who has worked at the Coop for some seven years, added that a fairly well accepted theory among booksellers has it that there have been no definitive trends over the past five years. This lack of direction represents a drastic change from past decades, when students appeared to only be interested in the same cults and social issues...
...accepting money from the KTA, with such obvious links to the corrupt and repressive Park regime, the University exhibits a drastic leap of faith. The acceptance of the grant should not be construed as an acceptance on the University's part of the policies of the Korean regime, nor should the grant create any pressure on members of the East Asian Research Center to alter their attitudes toward Korea.

I want to be sure that my knowledge in this field is as great as it can be and that there be some unanimity, or at least a common understanding, of where we are going in the next four years. This would be a drastic departure from what exists now. I feel that Mr. Kissinger has only permitted Congress to become involved in the decision-making process when it was politically expedient...
