...Harvard Hall drill inevitably raises the issue of the place of the Reserve Officer Training Corps, and of the military more generally, on Harvard's campus. But let us not get so caught up in this relatively parochial matter that we ignore the larger questions the very existence of ROTC in its current state should evoke. For a remilitarized country and a war-torn world exist in spite of a demilitarized Harvard...
...writing in response to the article, "ROTC Holds First Drill On Campus in 20 Years," which ran on Tuesday, March 21. In short, I find that the article is grossly unfair in its characterization of both the ROTC program and especially the individuals involved. Not only have we (I am a member of the Naval ROTC unit) been accused of the desire/practice of killing our fellow human beings, but also of doing so blindly in a desperate struggle to pay for our education.

Although the financial aid of the ROTC program is helpful, it is not the only reason I decided to enroll in the Navy ROTC. I take great pride...
LA.P.D. Detective Nordberg (O.J. Simpson) smells trouble. And gets it. Thugs drill him with lead, he gets wet paint on his jacket, a bear trap snaps on his leg, and a window slams down on his fingertips. Nordberg's partner, Lieut. Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen), solemnly swears revenge. But before he has * brought the evil Vincent Ludwig (Ricardo Montalban) to justice, Drebin must do business with a killer fish, a body-stocking condom, a ballplaying assassin (Reggie Jackson) and the Queen of England. As Frank could tell you, it's the same old story: "Boy finds girl. Boy loses girl...
