Destruction becomes an end in itself. At Roosevelt University in Chicago, some 150 protesters swarmed into the president's office, smashed newsmen's tape recorders, threatened secretaries. The reason? They wanted five students who had been suspended in a previous disturbance to be reinstated. Damage has been done to people as well as property. In the act of setting a bomb in the Creative Arts Building at San Francisco State College this month, a 19-year-old student was blinded and maimed. A security guard at the same college is still hospitalized from an injury suffered...
...doubling of teachers' salaries during the past decade. But some of the bills piling up are the result of specifically Catholic problems. The rising cost of teachers, for example, is even worse for parochial schools because there are fewer members of religious orders available for teaching jobs. The reason is the sharp decrease in religious vocations, plus a diversification of some orders into other lines of work, like inner-city social action. A decade ago, there were three times as many nuns, priests and brothers teaching as there were lay instructors; now the numbers are just about equal...
Boring Boards. The problem is that the Journal staff is suddenly being called upon to work harder at the paper's original reason for being: covering financial news. This may include intriguing stories about corporate competition and executive politics. More often, however, it involves checking out public relations handouts, tabulating financial statements and reporting boring board meetings. Journal reporters handle such items not only for the paper but also for its Dow Jones financial-news wire, which is facing serious competition for the first time. A similar wire opened last year by Reuters claims some 600 clients...
...Gogh to dispose of his remaining ear, and a brigade of crippled pigeons could have performed better dance numbers. There is a degradation of intellect, taste and dignity about the entire musical. The men involved were the architects of a great republic, men of passion, probity and reason. Touched with some impalpable and mysterious inspiration, they proved to be the golden brood of 18th century Enlightenment. To the nation, which was a gleam of courage in their fertile imagination, they pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. On Broadway, 1776 brings the heroic, tempestuous birth of a people...
Reluctant Step. One reason the rate increase caused so little commotion was that it had been anticipated in banking circles for weeks; the only question was which bank would start it. New York's Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. took the reluctant first step. The bank is, after all, well attuned to credit pressures. A leading corporate lender, it was one of the banks most severely squeezed in the "credit crunch" of 1966. This time, the Federal Reserve Board's policy of gradual "disinflation without deflation" has kept U.S. banks at some distance from anything like the 1966 crisis...
