...this nonsense by Ted Kennedy about Hamburger Hill [May 30] makes me furious. I cannot see how he can make such a statement after what has been happening in the A Shau Valley during the preceding weeks.

But the persons who ultimately receive that money--students, faculty, administrators, and employees--can and should make such contributions. The university should create a mechanism that would facilitate such giving. This Foundation should created, however, unless it is clear that student and faculty interest in it is strong. We hope that the discussion of this proposal among members of the university will serve as a measure...
