Finally, in the best and the only bona fide play of the evening. "The Werewolf" by Sheldon Feldner, an assistant professor of drama at Emerson College, the Polinskys get around to a real exercise in theatrics. Steve is a rather tiresomely portrayed, holier than thou priest. Joel is an invading crazy, convinced that he's a werewolf and on the verge of committing suicide. After a long series of thrusts and counterthrusts (the play does have some difficulty finding itself), the werewolf bests the priest by demonstrating that secret sins don't disappear simply by being confessed. The only real...
Disillusionment awaits them. "The Government has no obligation to finance the U.S. citizen abroad or to pay his fare home," insists Ralph Cadeaux, chief of special services at the U.S. consulate in London. Some 300 young supplicants call on Cadeaux every week. In bona fide emergencies, he lets them call home from the consulate-collect. In Paris, only the seriously injured, the infirm and those with a hardship story good enough to make strong men weep have any hope of parting the consulate from $235 for air fare home and a $40 subsistence allowance. Of the hundreds of hard-luck...
...total vote. Since the current wave of disturbances began in 1968, however, the M.S.I.'s stress on law-and-order has won it new respectability. Reinforcing that image is the party's leader, mild-mannered former journalist Giorgio Almirante, 55. A bona fide Fascist under Mussolini, whose picture hangs in the party's Rome headquarters, Almirante has prudently banned jackboots and black shirts for his followers. More in the mold of the old image of Fascist leaders is Retired General Giovanni de Lorenzo, former Army Chief of Staff. Now one of M.S.I.'s representatives in Parliament...
College campuses have led the way. In 1965, only 25 colleges gave accredited courses directly or indirectly related to jazz. By next September, some 500 will offer jazz as part of bona fide curriculums; the University of Utah has just instituted a Ph.D. in jazz composition. As recently as 1967, only one U.S. college-North Texas State-offered a major in jazz. This year ten colleges are awarding jazz degrees. Other schools offer swinging seminars by guest "professors" like Cannonball Adderley, Clark Terry and Billy Taylor who discuss such vital matters as the trumpet lip trill and, almost as important...
...available evidence bearing on the relevant performance of the candidate sought out and considered? Was there adequate deliberation by the department over the import of the evidence in the light of relevant standards? Were irrelevant and improper standards excluded from consideration? Was the decision a bona fide exercise of professional academic judgment?" (Spring 1970 AAUP Buliletin.) It is, in short, due process in the academic arena and would seem to be part and parcel of any meaningful notion of academic freedom...
