...year's 365 days would be picked from a fishbowl. Thus, if April 1 were the date drawn, all men age 19 who were born on that date would be draftable. If there were not enough to fill the quota, another date would be randomly chosen and the process repeated. Among other things, this plan eliminates the burden falling unfairly on those born early in the year. Presently, they are the first to be called...
...Governance that will include eleven students and 18 faculty members. Asserting that it was essential to re-establish "the high sense of mutual trust and confidence that formerly prevailed at Harvard," the overseers charged the reform panel with the responsibility of re-examining the university's decision-making process, which presently rests in a vague, tradition-bound combination of administrators, faculty and trustees-but no students.

That, as kids who have reached a mature understanding of drugs already know, can also be a turn-on, and a better...
...REFORM of central institutional machinery alone will be sufficient immediately to reestablish the high sense of mutual trust and confidence that formerly prevailed at Harvard. However, we are convinced that an honest and open process of discussion of this, along with the discussions by the various faculties on matters within their jurisdiction, is indispensable to that end, and therefore that this work must proceed with a sense of urgency. We call upon all members of the Harvard community to join...
