Relevant Bull. The free university movement is based on familiar complaints, most of them summarized in a petition circulated by a group of teaching fellows during Harvard's recent student strike. Said the petition, which was signed by more than a thousand Harvard students: "Professors are hired for their research achievements, not their teaching ability. Almost the only educational technique employed by senior faculty members is the lecture, involving no communication or concern. Grades are awarded for effective mimicry. The university seems not to care for the self-understanding, self-respect or independent thought of its students...
...page shot of an athlete running up the Soldier's Field steps with last year's sports scores illegibly super-imposed in matching type has to rate as a major debacle. It is also distributing that next to never do pictures and copy work together. A readable, if familiar, feature on the shift of Phillips Brooks House to community action is illustrated with two pictures of the program and seven of people lounging around the PBH corridors and the PBH steps...
Held in Thrall. The flight of Apollo 10 was an elaborate preparation for a manned landing on the moon, now scheduled for July 20, but it was also vastly more than that.

...listed as Hill 937, the number representing its height in meters. Last week it acquired another name: Hamburger Hill. It was a grisly but all too appropriate description, for the battle in and around Ap Bia took the lives of 84 G.I.s and wounded 480 more. Such engagements were familiar enough in Viet Nam up until a year ago. But coming at this stage of the war and the peace talks, the battle for Hamburger Hill set off tremors of controversy that carried all the way to Capitol Hill...
...describing the proposed move "like being kicked out of the game on the two-yard line after coming 98 yards down the field." Scheer quickly accepted his resignation. Out is not off, however. Who was down in Houston last week, tracking the Apollo 10 flight in his familiar way, under contract to Britain's ITV? None other than Paul Haney. This time he was not only heard, but seen, although he admits: "I don't have the shape and face for this thing-my face is like a Halloween mask...
