...speech Wallace hammered way at now familiar themes as he attacked federal open housing legislation, school bussing, anti-war students, college professors, the tax-exempt status of the national foundations, and Harvard...
...well do the same. When the Congress did act, all too often it was only to wield an indiscriminate axe. To win approval of his anti-inflationary 10% income tax surcharge, the President last spring agreed to a $180 billion budget ceiling. Last week the Senate refused to exempt Medicaid benefits for the poor from that ceiling, then went one step further and sliced $500 million from the $2.3 billion originally allocated to Medicaid...
Inexhaustible Supply. While the courts were helping those who seek the right to serve, they also made things more difficult for those who prefer not to. All of the districts broadened the eligibility requirements to include people who were once exempt.

But the more significant message of the meeting was its renewed evidence that campus disorders will probably increase rather than abate in the coming school year. As outgoing President Schwartz sees it, the more moderate students are so discouraged that they may drop out of student movements...
