...Spectator is also freer from the taint of establishment than Cox Commission members. Its anti-administration bias will be more palatable to some persuasions than the liberal witticisms that slip from the Cox group. (Cox harshly criticizes the five SDS leaders who refused to appear before Dean Platt in May when the campus was still seething.) "It is clear to us," Cox says, "that no student has a right or privilege under any circumstances to ignore a dean's summons [unless he is disabled by illness or other emergency...
...near the end of the hour that he had never seen so many attentive people at a lecture ("Lecture? Lecture?" was the irrelevant chorus. "Think about that," he urged. So I have.

...about two companions who arrive at a town. One assumes the role of a nobleman, the other his crafty servant, and so on.) For another, he is not terribly worried about putting on a technically polished production of the play. "After all," he explains, "we are a group of amateurs. There's something a little pretentious about our trying to present a very elegant, very polished production of a play. What's much more important, at least for this play, is that we all have fun with what we're doing. As in the original comedia--that...
