...training centers, as well as into homes and bars at night for "rap" sessions that lasted well into the morning. In Chicago, we listened to Jesse Jackson, heir-apparent to leadership in Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In Cleveland's Hough ghetto, the group stayed with families in ghetto apartments. In San Francisco, a motel manager emptied enough rooms of prostitutes to crowd the group in-and got himself beaten up by their pimps in return. The pimps who stayed were anxious to talk, mostly about police abuse of their rights. Bill Buckley listened...
...issue last week was the supposed way out: a "dual admission" plan hammered out during 37 hours of nonstop negotiations between a faculty committee and minority-group students. Under the plan, which would start in the fall of 1970, half of the freshmen class (including slum whites) would be admitted from ghetto areas "without regard to grades." After tutoring, they could go on to earn degrees in perhaps six or eight years. A key goal: promoting hope and incentive in slum high schools. Arthur Bierman, a physics professor and faculty negotiator, who initially opposed the whole idea, was eventually sold...
Relevant Bull. The free university movement is based on familiar complaints, most of them summarized in a petition circulated by a group of teaching fellows during Harvard's recent student strike. Said the petition, which was signed by more than a thousand Harvard students: "Professors are hired for their research achievements, not their teaching ability. Almost the only educational technique employed by senior faculty members is the lecture, involving no communication or concern. Grades are awarded for effective mimicry. The university seems not to care for the self-understanding, self-respect or independent thought of its students...
Kinzel believes that such a circle exists, and that merely to invade it can induce, in violent men, a panic that swiftly expands into irrational assault. In the room at Springfield, he has tested his theory on a group of prisoners, some known to be violent, others tractable. On the average, the violent subjects stopped him at a distance of three feet, and showed markedly increasing tension and hostility as the circle shrank. The nonviolent subjects let him approach to half that distance. Moreover, the two areas of insulating space differed radically in shape. That of the violent prisoners bulged...
However, he continues in the instruction manual, "you will quickly observe how every member of our little group here detests bigotry in the deepest part of his or her heart. (Most of us happen to be political Conservatives rather than Liberals, but this has nothing to do with our unanimous views toward inhumanity.) In an infinitely smaller sense, it is bad business (and bad sales) to be depreciatory toward geographic locations or abnormal unfortunates. Say 'For the tourists from Cornville' rather than 'For the tourists from Sioux City.' Say 'For the Gay Boys,' or similar, without scorn. We sell books...
