When Roberto's plane was late arriving for ceremonies inaugurating the two groups' joint government in Huambo last month, UNITA airport officials, tired of waiting, turned off the runway lights and went home. A furious Roberto was forced to return to Kinshasa. Recently there have been fistfights, stone-throwing and open fighting between soldiers of the two allies.

Last March Parker and the trustees announced they had created a ten-member committee to study the future of the college. Almost everybody agreed this was a good idea. But when the committee's report came out last month, it aroused furious opposition. The committee suggested the elimination of twelve of the 73 full-time faculty positions and nine assistantships; an increase in student costs (which at $6,280 for tuition, room and board, are already the highest in the nation), and a requirement that Bennington's 600 students major in two entirely different fields.
