Ethan M. Cruvant '80, another coordinator of the project, said yesterday the coordinators will limit "The Event" to 300 freshmen because it is a trial program and there might be a shortage of leaders. "We have to build from something. This first year will be a test," he said...
This applies not only to his critics in the U.S. One of the chief lessons from the new series of world conflicts is the extreme limit on the ability of all the great powers to determine the course of events. China, despite its pretensions of becoming a global force, met with no success in its efforts to prevent a Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia.

They include whether a state can withdraw its request for a convention, what possible time limit there might be on a state's request, how to choose the delegates and apportion votes in the convention, and whether the convention should refuse to propose an amendment it was summoned to consider. Although the Constitution never mentions these questions, there is no reason to expect Congress will meet serious opposition to an act outlining...
