Militancy-within Bounds. When the big dailies began to cover civil rights in earnest a few years back, some journalists thought Negro papers would have to fold. Instead, 39 new Negro weeklies and semiweeklies have been started in the past 2? years, bringing the total number of papers to 171. Many are making a profit. There are only two dailies: the aggressive Chicago Defender (circ. 32,000) and the conservative Atlanta Daily World (circ. 20,000). The New York Amsterdam News (72,400) and Detroit's Michigan Chronicle (48,300) are the largest weeklies and among the best...
Donald Oenslager has provided an aptly symbolic setting. Thebes has just been torn by civil war, and the stage is punctuated by four enormous red columns, all but one of which are badly cracked and chipped. Surrounding them, therefore, is a network of metal scaffolding, parts of which later fold in to Antigone's prison cell. This and Tharon Musser's fluid lighting allow the show to proceed for two hours straight through, as Anouilh intended, without intermission...

Then there is Harvard's special role as one of the few liberal arts summer schools in the New England region, serving students who could not otherwise go to summer school. And finally there is the desirability of "people from all over the world having at least one Harvard experience...
...failure of the Music Department is three-fold: to be the kind of department that attracts secondary school students seriously interested in studying music in college; to act as the center of, or even take an active part in, the musical life of the college; and to attract the most exciting musicians as concentrators. This has led to the peculiar situation in which it is considered ignominious to concentrate in music, and the categories of "musician" and "music major" are almost mutually exclusive. If someone is a flutist and a physics major or a 'cellist and concentrator in history...
