...resources to industry, to the military, perhaps even to urban problems. This demand has caused a division of labor among universities. Some, mostly state universities, have given in and become service institutions, others have remained centers of scholarship. Even within faculties, the "service" people are insulated from the pure scholars. But the service which the university provides to the military and to industry causes increasing politicization, and so even the lnsufated scholars are drawn in to the realm of politics. In this situation, the trustees of the university are caught between an angry faculty demanding academic freedom and a public...
...point in the student's career. Between college and graduate school, students should be placed in some form of social service, in which they can apply their education to relevant human needs. The article concludes with the suggestion that the concept of the university as a place for fostering pure learning is outdated, and that, if the university is to survive, it must make itself relevant...

The attraction of his eye to airplanes could indicate a basic recurring dream, or even knowledge based on earlier experience (i. e. he knows how to fly-an implausible plot point in the film).

...roots the action firmly in time and place ("Long Island, 1960"), and from the vantage point of a new decade it seems a long and innocent time away. But Williams makes the frustrations of young love agonizingly familiar, the ache of awakening sexuality vivid and true. For pure eroticism, a scene in a beach shower between Paul and Christine, clad in bathing suits and washing each other's backs, is worth a dozen of Antonioni's desert orgies...
