...school year ended, Weiss was triple-timing between lectures, cramming sessions for exams and his extracurricular work as editor of his campus paper, the Daily Bruin. All that recalled a familiar routine to Writer Ed Magnuson, who, as a student at the University of Minnesota 18 years ago, was a reporter for the Minnesota Daily. In those days, the most burning campus issue was not the draft; it was fraternity discrimination-both religious and racial. "We tried our best to be impartial," says Magnuson, "but of course the paper wound up flailing the Greeks...
Ponying Up. The most accurate source of campaign-spending information is the Manhattan-based Citizens' Research Foundation, which uses news paper stories, what candidates say they spend, and intelligent guesses. The foundation estimates R.F.K.'s spending to date at up to $5,000,000, McCarthy's at $3,000,000, Humphrey's at $2,000,000, Rocky's at $2,000,000, Reagan's at $500,000 and Lyndon Johnson's at $300,000 before he dropped out.

Weiss allows that he has "always been a wise-ass ? only my vocabulary has improved." He has called California Governor Ronald Reagan "a liar" for manipulating university financial figures to justify budget cuts, and tells matrons of Westwood who complain about obscenity in Bruin...

As a freshman, he dashed off a column for the Bruin, patly suggested that although U.S. involvement in Viet Nam was regrettable, the military at least ought to run the war right. So many older students grilled him about his beliefs that "I realized...
