Like any other group, the HSA is entitled to a fair trial. A sloppy report stemming from an investigating group whose objectivity is suspect is as unfair to the HSA as would be a report prejudiced in the other direction. More to the point, it is unfair to the Council and to the student body whose interests it supposedly protects...
...Advanced Placement program itself. With exemption students can fulfill a distribution requirement with courses which interest them, courses which fall into their specific fields of interest; without this freedom, they must simply take one more elementary level course.

Moiseyev began by saying he would leave discussion of U.S. shortcomings to those ''responsible for such things." i.e., Communist propagandists.

Chalk commutes between the two places in his telephone-equipped cars (black Cadillac, white Continental), on off hours retires to his 83-ft., twin-diesel yacht. A careful dresser, he owns 70 suits (most made in Europe for upwards of $200 each) and 30 pairs of shoes (most made in Paris for $75 a pair), sports vests with lapels...
