Power at a Price. The V.N.A.F. has developed into an organization of 1,000 pilots, 15,000 other officers and men and 400 planes. In its latest upgrading, the V.N.A.F is turning in propeller-driven A-1 Skyraiders for twin-engine A-37 jet attack planes. The 524th, or Thien-Loi (Thunder) Squadron recently went operational in A-37s at Nha Trang airbase, and two more squadrons of the jets will be flying by year...

The latest move on the part of SDS has left me in a quandry. On the one hand, I support the very issues which prompted the occupation of University Hall and I feel compelled as a "supposedly" moral, rational member of our fluid society to cast my vote in favor of the removal of ROTC from its present status on campus. And yet I am paralyzed by a desire...
