...clear that Hubert Humphrey's manful efforts to create a semblance of unity in the Democratic Party had failed in at least one notable instance. Minnesota's Senator Eugene McCarthy demanded that, in exchange for his backing, Humphrey promise to support a change of government in Saigon, reform the draft and overhaul Democratic Party machinery. Replied Humphrey: "I am not prone to start meeting conditions."

Until this fall, security clearances were required for some ROTC classes and despite dribbles of reform, the courses still follow standardized formulae promulgated in Washington. ROTC is essentially pre-professional training for the military and thus does not belong in the curriculum of an undergraduate liberal arts program...
