Although plenty of Columbia's students and faculty are indifferent to the plight of their Harlem neighbors, the university is using $10 million of Ford Foundation funds on projects designed to improve housing, schools and legal services in the neighborhood. Nonetheless, Columbia Vice President David Truman concedes that "we simply have not been tooled up to manage our public image."

It began a series of legal moves to forbid the interstate shipment of carbon tet for retail trade.

The Union now ought to admit that it is not prepared to emerge publicly, or, even better, take a stand that all can accept or reject. A legal stance would be best tactically; if the legality of being affiliated with the Union is in question, most students probably will not take the risk...
