...them weren't sure exactly what they'd be returning to in the fall. The death of Martin Luther King had set off what appeared to be a tidal wave of reform at the school of Education. The Faculty had voted to fund the studies of minority group students, fifty of whom were recruited by late May. Dean Theodore R. Sizer received a comprehensive mandate from the Faculty for reforming the Ed School's urban program, and with tradition everywhere in retreat, groups of dissidents from all programs began yelling for reforms, many totally unrelated to the revolution...

DDB had had a chance to air only a few commercials. The new Humphrey-Muskie group, which will run its first TV ad this week-fully a month after Chicago-faces competition that is already in high gear...
