Deprived of such shelter, Patty and the Harrises next occupied an isolated farmhouse in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, near the hamlet of South Canaan. They did so, the FBI believes, with the aid of Jack Scott, former athletics director at Ohio's Oberlin College, who with his wife Micki has refused to answer FBI questions or appear before a federal grand jury investigating the movements of Patty and the Harrises...
...liveliest skirmishes for women's rights these days seem to be taking place within the Episcopal Church, which limits its priesthood to men. In the latest confrontation, an Ohio church court found Oberlin's Rev. L. Peter Beebe guilty of breaking canon law by letting women with disputed ordinations celebrate Communion. As in the similar case of Washington, D.C.'s William Wendt (TIME, June 16), the court recommended that the bishop merely admonish Beebe, but it also proposed that he be suspended if he did it again. In effect the five judges backed Beebe by calling...
...they did not know where she was, at least the searchers were sure that they knew where she had been. In keeping with the bizarre nature of the entire episode, the latest chapter involved a radical athletics director named John V.

...University of California at Berkeley. Patty and the Harrises apparently linked up with Scott, 33, who is an intense, articulate critic of American athletics. Scott argues that most college sports programs are an extension of a society that he calls racist and militaristic. Looking for a fresh approach, Oberlin hired Scott as athletics director in 1972, on the theory that he was the right man to enliven the college's de-emphasized athletics program. It did not work out, and Oberlin and the reformer parted company last year, with Oberlin paying Scott the amount of his unexpired contract...
Last week the grand jury heard the testimony of Jay Weiner, 20, a would-be sportswriter who is a student at Philadelphia's Temple University, but who attended Oberlin from 1972 to 1974. Scott became Weiner's mentor. After his appearance before the grand jury, Weiner refused to say anything about the group, but he did ask newsmen to send his greetings to Tania (the underground name that Patty has adopted) and "my comrade Jack and my dearest sister Micki," who clearly were the Scotts. Weiner also said that he hoped the Scotts and Patty were safe...
