...Council is now split three ways over the manager issue. The deepest division--one created by two and a half years of infighting--is between the five councillors who voted to fire DeGuglielmo, and the former City Manager's three supporters on the Council--Daniel J. Hayes Jr., Bernard Goldberg, and Cornelia B. Wheeler. As DeGuglielmo becomes more a memory, this chasm may be bridge, but for the moment it still exists...

Money is a problem almost everywhere. The national S.D.S. owes the Federal Government $10,000 in back taxes. Receiving little money from headquarters, Columbia Graduate John Fuerst, 23, hitchhikes around the country as one of S.D.S.'s eight at-large national officers. Fuerst...
