...Nevertheless, his excellent administrative record placed him high on the appointment list. He has degrees from Yale and Harvard Law, and Navymen will find he retains the ruggedness demonstrated during his days in the Marine Corps, when he fought at Guadalcanal and Okinawa. Chafee, 46, chose the Navy job because he does not have to "commit himself for life," indicating that he is likely to run for office again in Rhode Island. His experience at Defense will not hurt. Chafee's tiny state has three major Navy installations, which annually pour some $174 million in payrolls into its economy...
...week's end McCarthy lent credence to that assessment by choosing an assignment to the Government Op erations Committee. A relatively lowly panel, Operations nevertheless has achieved a great deal of publicity under such diverse chairmen as the late Joseph McCarthy and the present John McClellan.

Walt Rostow was denied his old position on the faculty at M.I.T. and is consequently going to the University of Texas. This was clearly a case of political considerations influencing an academic appointment, as M.I.T.'s excuse that it had no field of economics and history was patently false. Nevertheless no students protested (in fact, they would have probably protested if Rostow had been appointed). If it were Staughton Lynd who was being discriminated against for political reasons students would have protested this infringement of academic freedom. This is hypocrisy only if you believe that people should defend abstract principle...
...agree with Master Gill that violent methods of changing or influencing Harvard policy are not beneficial to the University but only disrupt communications. I think there are many students on the HUC, SFAC, and HRPC like myself who have never been in favor of violent methods. Nevertheless, I think we are upset at what may seem to be a dangerous trend concerning the manner in which change comes about at Harvard...
