...both situations, the student feels a strong sense of powerlessness in the decision-making process. Ten years ago students did not question the government's right to conscript in the interests of national security. Nor did they question the Administration's authority to regulate parietals. Today, more sophisticated students are insisting that their own opinions on such issues have to be recognized. The sanctity of authority has been tarnished and the priming device has been students' experience with the Vietnam War. Of course disillusionment with authority doesn't necessarily lead to activism. But given the examples of anti-war protest...
...dynamics of this process can be seen at work in student activity at Harvard. Last spring the HPC proposed a fourth course pass-fail option to the University's Committee on Educational Policy. The CEP tabled the proposal. It has since asked two HPC members to present the proposal directly to the Committee...
...chairman of the National Conference for New Politics, "a group that has denounced Israel as 'imperialist,' that has come out in support of 'wars of national liberation,' no matter what their political character or threat to world peace, that has contemptuously dismissed the democratic process and allowed itself to be manipulated by spokesmen for crudely nationalistic views." In a separate protest, every officer of SANE's Northern California regional office resigned over the same basic issue...
...California Rehabilitation Center at Corona, describe as a "sudden generalized, overwhelming, pleasureful feeling." With somewhat more enthusiasm, a female speeder says that "it fills you inside, like this churning cloud of light with sparks shooting off, jagged, in all the colors of the rainbow, the universe in the process of creation. And you're a part...
...point at which all thermal motion of the atom ceases. To attain these temperatures, scientists use expansion engines that compress gases, cool them and allow them to expand again, then repeat the cycle until they liquefy and eventually solidify. As the gases approach absolute zero, a sophisticated magnetization process extracts their remaining reservoir of heat. Because there will always be slight thermal motion of the atomic particles, scientists will never actually achieve absolute zero. But last July, Naval Research Laboratory Physicist Arthur Spohr reported achieving a record low temperature by chilling helium to within a millionth of a degree...
