...issue is not whether debate should (or could) be ended, but whether we as individuals should take steps to hasten divestiture and provide for a strong Afro-American Studies Department. This does not mean that we should uncritically accept whatever information the Coalition may feed us and blindly follow in their path. But the concrete demands which the Coalition is making are simple and well-publicized: divestiture and commitment to Afro-American Studies. One needn't follow any party line in order to protest on behalf of these issues. Protest can never put an end to debate, but debate often...
...watchers the occasion was anything but routine. Along with the 8,000-word statement on the priesthood, two chapters of which were a virtual mini-encyclical on celibacy, John Paul issued a 1,600-word letter to the world's bishops, exhorting them to make certain that priests follow his teachings. Only the Vatican has the power to release a priest from his vows. During John Paul's half year as Pope, the Vatican has received more than 300 petitions from individual priests. So far he has refused to endorse a single one. By contrast, in 15 years...
...including 54 men and 13 women who wanted to convert or revert to heterosexuality. M & J do not list a success rate for such conversions, only a known failure rate. That failure rate is now at 35%, and is not expected to exceed 45% when all the five-year follow-ups are completed.

It would mean that a permanent, or at least longterm, switch to heterosexuality is possible more than half the time among gays...
...diet is simple and time has proved it safe," explains Tarnower. "People are willing to put up with the discipline and deprivation necessary because they know it works." The discipline is strict indeed. No alcohol, no snacks (except raw carrots and celery), no sugar, no oils. The dieter must follow, for two weeks at a time, a day-by-day menu that allows no substitutions. At least by the dieter. Tarnower himself changed the menus somewhat when he wrote his book. For example, the dinner that the original followers most dreaded (cottage cheese, eggs and cooked cabbage) has been changed...
...Fred L. Glimp '50, then dean of the College, warned the students to leave; when they refused, University police collected their bursar's cards, and Glimp promised disciplinary action. The Administrative Board voted to ask the students to withdraw, but the full Faculty--in an unprecedented move--refused to follow the Ad Board's lead. The Faculty placed 57 students on probation--replacing many of the students' scholarship with loans. The fate of the Paine Hall demonstrators became another symbol around which growing numbers of students would rally...
