This discursive method of arriving at editorial policy produces editorials that are the height of discursiveness. On many issues, Cowles editorials give sober consideration to a variety of viewpoints-and often end up advocating none. Cracks one rival Iowa editor: "They're like a butterfly in heat." Mike Cowles thinks that other papers are doing the fluttering: on foreign policy, he says, "most papers in this country have become eunuchs...
...addition, many private institutions will be "forced out" by their inability to compete with nominal tuition colleges, Dickey claimed. As Jerome D.

The quality of teaching would then be raised and the teaching fellows would not be mired in the lower levels...
