...advisory system on which they rely. The humanistic view, which holds that students, faculty, and administrators together represent a community in which all members must contribute to decisions affecting the whole, has been ignored. Yet students have not been granted a decision-making role commensurate with their financial payment to the College. Even such a crass capitalist stance would be a considerable step forward from the medieval view that students are apprentices, who will soon be paying $3000 a year, in tuition alone, to subject their academic lives to the standards and demands of the Faculty...

The real issue centers around payment for "civilian" goods, which accounted for one-quarter of the total. The Russians must at least partly clear up this default before Nixon can offer them Government-backed U.S. Export-Import Bank loans. The lend-lease talks were broken off in 1960 but, at Soviet request, talks have just been resumed in Washington. The U.S. has offered to settle for $800 million, but it wants hard...
