THEY TOOK mostly upper middle class kids at that select Catholic high school and a few lower class kids who were very able. In a class of 33 kids, 28 ended up as Merit Finalists. It was the cream of the crop of the Italian community of Cleveland. I quit that school after a year and a half or rather I was kicked out. I found the education irrelevant. I wanted to go to class and get B's, enough to get by, but outside of class I wanted to be on my own, read books I wanted to. Most...
Making SFAC responsible to the Faculty has one great merit according to Hoffmann: "It takes us out of the vacuum. We know now who we're talking to." Nonetheless Tuesday's events are a blow to SFAC. The Council's first major recommendation has been rejected and if the issues raised by the Dow demonstration are muddled by a new demonstration next week, SFAC's first five meetings will seem dreadfully futile.

One thousand Volunteers in India are too few for final solutions; therefore they aim at "confrontation rather than solution." Yet on a proportionate per capita basis, Botswana would merit only two Volunteers rather than the eighty British and American Volunteers it now requests and uses. Thus a concern for growth is a function of a quest for impact: if peace is at issue, impact is imperative...
