DEFENSE. Jackson has always been a proponent of new military hardware, and he shows no signs of changing. Critics charge that his views reflect the fact that his state's largest employer is the Boeing Co. (hence "the Senator from Boeing"). The charge is not quite fair. Jackson has worked on the company's behalf, and during the SST debate he let a Boeing lobbyist work out of his office. But Jackson fundamentally believes that new technology is essential to preserve peace and U.S. freedom. As he once said, "The way you get the Soviets to the conference...
...should be there to protect victims of movements." One unresolved current debate illustrates the problem. A women's rights faction recommends making rape prosecutions easier, but that would inevitably collide with the traditional civil libertarian concern for the rights of defendants. Furthermore, the recent activism seems to reflect what even many members agree is an increasingly liberal tilt.

It is entirely dependent upon the initiative of a Faculty that should have a clear idea of what General Education is and is meant to be. In the recent past the committee has been unable to reflect, as it ideally should, the visions of the Faculty; for the Faculty has been unable to form its own vision of a program of General Education. Until some real power is put in the hands of the committee, any program of positive reconstruction seems unlikely...
