Though he is clearly a sectional candidate, Wallace has won surprising support in all parts of the country. Though he appeals primarily to what he calls the "rednecks, pea pickers, peckerwoods and crackers," mostly people of modest means, he has had no trouble raking in substantial sums for campaign expenditures. And though he is almost universally derided in print and on TV, he only grows stronger, turning the scorn of the "pseudo intellectuals" to his own advantage among those who have always distrusted the press...

Her S.C.U.M. manifesto begins: "Life in this society being at best an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system...
...ethic of an institution emerges. The Administration, on the one hand, is either ignoring the obvious conflict between the two traditions, or is ready to sacrifice the tradition of diversity. For they continue to maintain that the parietals issue is "boring." They continue to put their mustard in the pea soup and still expect the diversity on cam-5Adams House, where by tradition, parietals are little enforced...
