...inept handling of these proposals is extraordinary: few of them even remotely threaten the existing structure. The failure to implement these stop-gap proposals or essentially preliminary measures is chiefly a reflection of power interests within the University or of general Faculty unconcern regarding change. Were any attempt made to develop a coherent philosophy of education for Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, much less to arrange some "grand commission," students, faculty and administrators would have to face at least the following issues: to what degree a university education actually serves the individual; the value of a university education in modern society...
...conceived caracatures of evil. The degeneracy of the merchants is hidden beneath masks of respectibility and only when they make their plans is the full measure of their malevolence revealed. With their henchmen, however, the situation is different. They boldly flaunt their fugitive status and are terrifyingly eager to implement the merchant's plans for destruction. A henchman (Tatsuys Nakadai) of the sake merchant epitomizes the hyperbole. The only person in the town who owns a pistol, he takes complete advantage of the fact. With obvious pleasure he flourishes the tool and when he kills with it, observes the death...
...public interest. To conservationists, NEPA is a goad to force the entire federal establishment to pay more attention to environmental problems.

The stickiest guideline calls for women, youth and minorities to be represented on delegations in rough proportion to their percentage in the population. While the intent was not to set up a quota system, that is what it amounts to. The National Women's Political Caucus, for instance, is challenging delegations that do not reflect the number of women in a state, which is almost always more than one-half the population...
...meals in each of the various houses. Such proposals would not be considered endorsed by the student body unless at least 70 per cent of the students vote and at least two-thirds of that 70 per cent endorses the proposal. It that arrangement proves too difficult to implement, and it should not, that bursar's cards should be checked at all future mass meetings and provisions made to accomodate more of the student body to prevent the recurrence of such a fiasco.
