Welcome as they are, warm words alone will not satisfy the vets. Various groups, such as the Ad Hoc Committee of Viet Nam Veterans, are organizing to fight harder for better education benefits, job training, health and readjustment programs. Muller, who is executive director of the Council of Viet Nam Veterans and the emerging spokesman for the movement, wants vets in more key Government positions. He notes that "only five of the 700 'policy' posts filled by Carter have gone to Vietvets." There is also growing concern in the Government about veterans' allegations that Agent Orange...
Early in February, Thomas C. Schelling, Littauer Professor of Political Economy, recommended, as Allison had previously suggested, setting up an ad hoc committee of students and faculty to study the Engelhard controversy and develop guidelines for accepting gifts and naming facilities. The committee was plagued by internal rifts, with two of its members dropping out, but it did release tentative guidelines on April 11--the same day 300 demonstrators called for the library to be named after Steven Biko, the slain leader of the South African Black Consciousness Movement...

Such a statement coincides with President Bok's position on the ethical implications of gifts, which suggests that investigating donors might be too formidable a task...
...CHUL meeting on boycotts only confused the matter further, with students and administrators accusing one another of misrepresentation. Nevertheless, a student-faculty Ad Hoc Committee on Consumer Boycotts emerged form the meeting, headed by Archie C. Epps III, dean of students.

...made a crucial distinction between using proxy votes to influence corporations and using consumer boycotts. Owning, Bok says, implies responsibility, whereas buying does not. Bok does not try to set specific policies on boycotts in the letter, however, and his only reference to the ad hoc committee is his belief that its report contains problems. What problems, and how Bok will address them, remains unclear...
