...TIME offered four free columns of advertising space each week for a year to a group of agencies for an experiment in communications. We invited them to turn their creative energy loose on any topic at all-except a product. In the weeks since, TIME'S readers have heard about patriotism, battered children, truth, tradition, poverty, blindness, language and protest.

We have heard at various times that L.Gard Wiggins, administrative vice president of the University, could promote the helpers with one phone call; then that he could not without the consent of the Union; then that Harvard was willing to let a three-man panel from the black Contractors Association of Boston decide the helpers' case, apparently without the union; and now the administration has agreed to add three OBU representatives to that panel. The University seems to have been dodging...
