This, then, is the university version of the high-school myth of "NO CONNECTIONS." It functions well: both to sedate the lives and to protect the conscience of the university-population from all knowledge, memory or recognition of the pain, the anguish and the devastation of those tens of thousand who live just beyond their reach and past their recognition. The fine, wood-panelled dining-hall on Quincy Street cleans the surface of the scholar's conscience with the polish of good manners, decent bearings, and appropriate understatement of his discontent. Clean silver, cool sherbet, slivers of lime and fabric...
...colleges that rely largely on student fees to meet their expenses, hard times are giving birth to the hard sell. Faced with a shrinking high-school population, some institutions have gone head-hunting with coast-to-coast billboard blitzes, offers of tuition discounts and mobile recruiting vans. Until alumni complaints forced it to stop, Eastern Oregon College even offered a bounty of $60 for new students from Oregon, and $100 for out-of-state catches...
...Steadman, as with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, provides perfect illustrations--snarling scratches that bear the same relationship to conventional caricature that Thompson's writing does to The National Review. These drawings are accompanied by photographs, some of which are interesting, but we could have done without the high-school yearbook technique of supplying "funny" captions to the pictures.

An extended interview with Rick Stearns and Dick Dougherty about convention tactics wasn...
...Liebman, who produced Your Show of Shows, has compiled this film with a craftsman's eye for pacing the laughter. It begins slowly, with a modest bit of domestic conflict in which Imogene Coca, looking, as ever, like your high-school dietician, must tell Caesar, her husband, that she has wrecked his beloved car. From there the film builds rapidly to an unlikely skirmish in a movie theater, a board meeting presided over by a chairman concerned only with his lunch, and a fond parody of a silent film called The Sewing Machine Girl. Finally there...
Tackis Bit Perry and Tim Manna and guard Bob Kircher all saw more action on the line than either Crone or Stockel did at quarterback. Restic also has two strong transfers to beef up the line--guard Doug Crim, a sophomore letterman at Indiana and a high-school All-Ohio selection, and center Mike Evans, a 250 lb. former UCLA letterman who was once named "Player of the Week" during his sophomore season, and who won the Outstanding Freshman Award during his first year at UCLA. Two other linemen, guard Mark Bauer and center Steve Snavely, saw about 60 minutes...
