John Getsinger '73 opened the series with a portfolio of photographs of Lowell, Mass. In the angle of his shots of Lowell townspeople--two muddy boys, a glowering tavern keeper with a criminal record, a girl still in her robe--the photographer's presence is implicit, but not intrusive. Getsinger's apparent intimacy with his subjects has enabled him to communicate their expressions and their relationships to their environment directly; his pictures lack the stiffness, posturing or distance which are hazards of this type of photography. The immediacy of Getsinger's photographs is further underlined by the prosaic, sometimes ironic...
...could bring a change in Faculty organization is the professionalization and expansion of President Bok's office. If the departments begin to lose their autonomy, the Massachusetts Hall bureaucracy, and not the student body, will be the heirs to their power. The budget currently gives the Administration an enormous implicit leverage and their professionalism gives them a predilection to use it.

Sometimes resistance to discrimination takes so many forms that only rigid...
...present-day view of the heroin addict: although we often give lip service to the notion that he is a sick or psychologically disturbed person who needs understanding and treatment rather than punishment, our more basic and emotional response of revulsion, fear and hatred is reflected in our implicit acceptance of the fact that the use of heroin and other opiates continues to be dealt with primarily through prohibition and the imposition of criminal penalties. This means that addicts--with the exception of a few like physicians and pharmacists--have little choice but to seek illicit sources for supplies...
HARVARD'S RACISM, however, is usually not so direct. It generally surfaces as an unthinking attitude of paternalism. The dispute over the University's ownership of Gulf stock provides a good example of this sort of implicit racism. Both the University's ownership of Gulf stock provides a good example of this sort of implicit racism. Both the University and the black protesters agreed on the central issue: Harvard should use its ownership of the stock in some way to aid black Angolans. The students suggested divestiture to make an impact on the public and fuel a nationwide Gulf boycott...
