Carter professes to welcome his underdog status, maintaining that he has always campaigned best when he is behind. His strategy for Anderson is to ignore him publicly. With Carter's blessing, however, the Democratic National Committee last week set aside $225,000 to hire lawyers who will try to keep Anderson off the ballot in 13 key states, including California, New York and Ohio. Anderson already is on the ballot in Kansas, New Jersey and Utah. For Reagan, Carter has settled on a more aggressive strategy. The President's aides will keep reminding voters this summer about...

The troubling part is not that blacks...
...women, perhaps by installing advisers especially able to cope with women's issues. Dean Fox says he always asks each House master to include in his tutoring staff one such person. When pressed, though, Fox admits that this year he forgot to remind all of the masters to hire a women's adviser. Even when Fox does remember, few women student residents are aware of this service, primarily because women's advisers are not labeled as such. Fox says he does it this way because he prefers to "handle it (sexual harassment and women's issues) in inexplicit ways...
