...seems obvious that Harvard never meant to and never did establish the Departments of Military Science, Naval Science, and Aerospace Studies with the full privileges of Academic Departments. All candidates for the A.B. degree must complete at least 13 1/2 non-ROTC courses, all Faculty appointments for ROTC personnel are non-tenured, and ROTC Departments may not recommend degrees. Further, it seems that the ROTC Units view themselves as ROTC Units, not as Harvard Departments.. Harvard has never entrusted the ROTC Units with the full privileges of an Academic Department, nor should it. An externally controlled body which pursues...
...ROTC Units clearly hold a special status within Harvard. The HRPC recommends that the ROTC status be modified by withdrawing academic credit for ROTC course offerings. This recommendation is not meant to challenge the existence of ROTC programs at Harvard. We do feel, however, that change in the present status is necessary if ROTC is to remain at Harvard and its existence not contradict the basic educational principles of the liberal arts institution
...Philippines v. Malaysia: At the heart of what so far remains this war of words is, quite fittingly, one particular word. That is padjak, which today in Malay means "mortgage" or "pawn" but a century ago meant "to lease" or "to cede." The issue is whether the Sultan of Sulu in 1878 ceded his rights to Sabah, as the Malaysians claim, or simply leased those rights, as is maintained in Manila. There is nothing much new about the Philippine claim-former President Diosdado Macapagal raised it during his election campaign in 1961. It remained a relatively minor issue until this...
This Jonah was no theoretician. He was, wrote old School Friend Cyril Connolly recently, "a political animal [who] could not blow his nose without moralizing on conditions in the handkerchief industry." Though Orwell was a socialist, the metaphysical system underlying Marxian socialism meant nothing to him, and he had an empirical Englishman's distrust of other philosophical abstractions; to him, the existentialist Sartre was a windbag. But he also held an immense advantage over English intellectuals in politics who, by comparison, seem like dishonest children...
...because even without them overall baseball attendance is higher than ever. To me, one of the thousands who hitchhiked into a Class D town as a teen-ager begging for a tryout, these stories are missing the point. They do not account for what a minor league ball club meant to towns like Graceville, Fla., and Valdosta, Ga., and Hornell, N.Y. and Thibodaux, La. Nor what it meant to the men who played it; men with names like Ernie Oravetz and Al Rivenbark and R.C. Otey and Country Brown, who would have spent their lives in coal mines or cotton...
