...Argentines weighed in with a giddy show, which includes Julio Le Fare's kinetics, David Tamelas' 20-ft-high minimal cubes, and poppish plastic nudes by Juan Carlos di Stefano so obscene that one local official threatened to expel them. Poland's Tadeus Kantor shows that the Iron Curtain has long since popped wide open with his portrait collage of a stuffed shirt (with shirt). France's Baldaccini Cesar took another of the ten minor prizes with his sculptures of Mobil Oil cans and plastic. He disdained it, snorting "Ask Pablo [Picasso], or Sartre, or Fidel...

Regardless of the justice of such action, Powell would have no recourse to the courts; but it would be harder to muster the required majority in the House for such a decision...
Arguments can be made against the use of drugs, but this one is not particularly felicitous. One would hope that Dean Monro does not plan to expel all drug-users, but rather that his statement is a result of the increased pressure from police and groups outside the University who feel that the College must be cleaned...
