...With regard to the state, however, we, the people, have an unavoidable stake in demanding accountability to us, through those whom we have chosen to govern. Our interest derives not merely from the fact that our contact with the state is unavoidable, but from the separate consideration that we are the source of the state's authority...
Later in his column, Shane says that president Silber had a secret poll on R.O.T.C. when, in fact, it was a highly publicized poll but undertaken with the well known procedure called a secret ballot. A secret ballot does not make a secret poll. Finally in regard to this question of administration--faculty relations, Shane writes, "BU's faculty lacks the power and cohesiveness necessary to determine the fate of a BU president". Whatever this phrase means, it is not the case that President Silber and the Faculty at BU are in disagreement over the issues of military recruitment, R.O.T.C...
...March issue of The Princeton Alumni Weekly--which data I had no reason to doubt -- I reported in my article that of 69 Negro students in the Princeton class of 1973 only 48 blacks remained as seniors. I concluded that this constituted a very high dropout rate.

But I have a different reaction: God save us from our so-called white...
...rise in August. Administration spokesmen quickly warned consumers not to expect a sudden downturn in store prices; indeed, Herbert Stein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, bluntly predicted a continued "fairly rapid rise in retail food prices" in the next six months. Industrial prices, which most economists regard as a better gauge of basic inflationary trends than mercurial farm prices, rose a substantial .7%. Even if the rise in living costs tapers off somewhat in the months ahead, the consumer would still not be getting any bargain. Despite the September drop, wholesale prices are 16.6% higher than they were...
