Academic Freedom. The University of Buenos Aires, the main organ for propagating European classical-humanist traditions, oppresses national forces of creative self-determination by institutionalizing the imitation of models from the oppressor cultures and by mouthing their ideology ("free trade," "liberalism," and the one crop economy). Professors of course portray the university as "an island of democracy" in a sea of whatever (familiar words on American campuses), obscuring its reactionary political alignment...
...group is owned and led by two 32-year-old women. Terry Garthwaite, a tough rock singer, plays electric guitar and sings with a scratchy authority that can suggest Janis Joplin. Her partner, Toni Brown, a pretty Bennington graduate, sings, stomps around the stage, plays electric piano and organ, and writes songs about what it is like to be a woman ("Time goes, and the baby keeps growin', and I can't help knowin', baby I love you"). The girls -backed by three males, Fritz Kasten, 27, drums, Ron Wilson, 37, congas, and Jeff Neighbor, 28, bass...
...well as it deserves. What is particularly curious about this group is that it is the first rock and roll band I have heard that is dominated in every way by women. Toni Brown and Terry Garthwaite wrote all the songs, do all the singing, and play guitar, piano, organ, steel guitar, and clarinet.

All the originals on the record are-excellent songs; the fast numbers don't always work so well, but the slow ones are reminiscent of Elton John...
...group-from New Orleans-has already made its peace with SDS by walking out of it. According to Ed Clark, a former member of PL and a leading organizer of the New Orleans group, the reason for the walkout was the defeat at the conference of two of its proposals calling for increased internal discussion in SDS. The first was a motion to devote part of New Left Notes "to ongoing political and strategic debates within SDS." This proposal was defeated in favor of one by staff members of New Left Notes which denied that the publication should...
First and foremost: The CRR, although technically the grandchild of the faculty, is in practice an organ of the administration. It is merely a processing and channeling agency. In many ways it is a draft board in reverse. In almost every single case of the more than 250 which the CRR has heard, the complainant has been an administrator. (The only exceptions to this are the charges growing out of attacks on the CFIA. There, Robert Bowie, director of the Center, pressed charges.) The CRR does not decide ultimate guilt or innocence, nor does it examine the issues. It punishes...
