...campaign for city council has been relatively quiet this year. The incumbent councillors have spent the entire past week closeted in the council chambers debating the rent control question and Mrs. Hicks, former school committee chairman and candidate for mayor, has failed to match the outspokenness of her earlier campaigns for office...
...increasing minority representation, one of the more interesting questions about the race is the fate of the three black candidates: Thomas Coates (CCA), School Committeeman Gustave M. Solomons (CCA), and Henry F. Owen III (Ind.). Of the three, Coates appears to have the most strength. A former councilor, he began running again moments after he was defeated in 1967.

They seem either unwilling or incapable of providing the leadership which an increasingly activist and even "liberal"-if one can use that word-M. B. A. student faction is demanding. Apparently unwilling to concede that more and more M. B. A. students (especially black and chicano students) are determined to put an end to the Business School's splendid and serene...
