...Dartmouth murdered the Quakers. 44-0 rolling up 509 yards rushing, and although Penn rebounded to top Lehigh a week later a rejuvenated Princeton offense ripped the porous Quaker defense through and through last Saturday 42-?. The Quaker offense has ground to a halt. It's defense is practically nonexistent when it must encounter any squad with a formidable ground game. And it lost a third quarterback, sophomore Phil Procacci with a broken jaw in the Lehigh game...
...setting an agenda and other preliminaries. If neither side makes unreasonable demands, substantive bargaining could begin soon afterward.

The hijackers were not exactly home free. France announced plans to try them in its military-mission court in Berlin on as yet unspecified charges. The compromise will not please those who argue that, as President Nixon told the U.N. last month, "sky piracy...
...true scholar of any political persuasion will find sure footing, both in principle and in practice, only in the firm rejection of any political test and on the firm ground of academic integrity and academic liberty. Otherwise, you will surely get, to quote Blake again, "hirelings in the camp, the court, and the university, who would. if they could forever depress mental and prolong corporal...
