...second basic problem is that the proposal simply ignores the need for clearly mandated procedures of due process; the right to an open hearing is but a minor sop in this direction. Standards of evidence, standards of punishment, criteria for calling witnesses and cross-examining them must all be explicitly stated in the new committee's charter. To say, as the University has suggested, that the committee will make such decisions according to an evolving body of common law is to say that it will function like the CRR. The new body must guarantee an opportunity for cross-examination...
...Reagan Administration copes with its burgeoning scandal, pundits are + facing a minor but nonetheless sticky problem of their own: what to call it. Ever since Watergate, the suffix -gate has been used to label virtually any hint of governmental wrongdoing (from the Koreagate bribery scandal to Lancegate, the flap over President Carter's former Budget Director).

Born near Udine into a family she calls "minor intellectual nobility," Aulenti, 59, honed her sense of design during ten years on the staff of the architectural magazine Casabella, and made her name as a designer in 1969 with her Olivetti showrooms in Paris and Buenos Aires. "In one way, she's a great success as an architect," says Italy's leading architecture critic, Bruno Zevi, who considers her work inspired and sensitive...
Last year, Doug Dadswell, a former Cornell goalie now playing in the Flames' minor league system, got the familiar, "Sieve, sieve" chants howled...
