...Coop last fall after union organizers complained they were being "harassed" by Coop security guards. A group of local Chicano students led by Carlos M. Alcala, a third-year law student, in April called the Coop "racist" for refusing to discontinue the sale of Farah slacks. Farah is the object of a nation-wide boycott organized by employees who seek to unionize Farah's main plant--whose workers are primarily Chicanos--in El Paso, Texas...

Furthermore, administrators clarified immediately that the Kraus plan as well as the budget would not be revised.

By December it will be the brightest object in the predawn sky, providing early risers with an unusual celestial display. The newly discovered comet may eventually be 50 times as brilliant as Halley's comet, which last dazzled the world in 1910; its tail could arc across some 30°-or one-sixth-of the evening sky. With no effort at hyperbole, Harvard Astronomer Fred Whipple says the onrushing giant "may well be the comet of the century...
