Peter Aldrich and the many M. B. A.'s who pulled together the anti-Vietnam petition deserve the praise and support of all students who are disgusted with the status-quo orientation of many members of the SA. In my opinion, which I admit is probably a minority opinion, those students who circulated and signed the anti-Vietnam petition represent the only real hope for the entire American capitalist system.

This economic index has meaning only in the context of a market economy and implies an acceptance of the status quo income distribution. Egalitarian goals are introduced at best on an ad hoc basis, and the human costs of rapid economic growth-the fracture of community, for example-are seldom considered. A companion objective typically assumed for poor countries, that of "political development." aims at little more than convergence with western political system. Thus, the conventional confines...
