...foresees the possibility of defection by Coop management personnel if the new board institutes unacceptable or unworkable programs. The Coop's Harvard orientation has always granted M.I.T., and Brown fears that the selection of the entire opposition slate might cause real disaffection down Mass. Ave. M.I.T. accounts for 20 per cent of the Coop's annual $15 million income. "We just can't afford to alienate M.I.T.," Brown said. "If we lost them, the Coop would be in real trouble." Roose and Profit, however, see little danger of a bolt by M.I.T. if the new directors keep their pledge...
...will meet for the first time as a group to formulate its strategy and ideas. It faces the challenge of co-ordinating a campaign to draw a quorum of eligible voting members to the general membership meeting next Wednesday afternoon. The Coop by-law define a quorum as five per cent of the participating members of Harvard, M.I.T., and the Episcopal Theological School, or a little more than 1500 members.

Patrolmen, often the rawest, lowest paid, and least intelligent members of the force, are left with the other 99 per cent of police work, which Wilson dubs "order maintenance"--the usually tedious, sometimes dangerous duties of controlling restless teenagers on hot streets, of stepping into armed quarrels between lovers, of shepherding drunks. As Wilson sees it, the patrolman's lot is not a happy one. He pounds his beat alone or in pairs and doesn't enjoy the neat guidelines of the detective; "disorderly conduct," "creating a public nuisance," and other laws used to maintain order leave the patrolman with...
