...Secretary warns, education cannot be seen as isolated processes on different levels. "It's foolish to talk about institutions of post-secondary education" without thinking about the sources of those institution's students", Hufstedler says with conviction. "One addresses the issues, therefore, not simply in isolation but as a part of the full set of issues and problems that affect American education at all levels...
...would be foolish to deny that The Crimson has been in the forefront of many positive efforts. Its unequivocal support for divestiture of South African stocks and for the Afro-American Studies Department are two of many examples which are to be commended. Yet as consistently as The Crimson has attacked the racial insensitivity of the University administration, it has ignored the racism which is so commonplace among the student body.

A pond-hockey pickup crew of collegians, they had knocked off an athletic machine assembled from the best that the Soviet army and the Moscow Dynamo could produce-the best team in the world, professional or amateur. Basically the same Soviet outfit trounced the National Hockey League All-Stars at Madison Square Garden last year. The Soviets have won the title in every Olympics since 1964; the Americans last took the gold 20 years...
