...completed until 1973 at the earliest. Other delegates thought that an independent agency could do the job more efficiently than the bureaucracy-ridden U.N. Lord Ritchie-Calder likened the process to "the opening up of the last frontier. First, adventurers go into virgin-territories to stake their claims and repel interlopers," he said. 'Then the federal marshal comes along to represent the" law, followed by the elected sheriff and a regime of law and order." What the suntanned conferees took home with them was a conviction that the law of the sea urgently needs a speedy updating...

The move came in response to two weeks of almost daily rallies and vandalism inspired by a recent faculty vote that may restore academic credit (barred last April) to ROTC. During the turmoil, one student was found trying to turn his Mustang into a fire bomb by soaking it with gasoline. On April Fools' Day, a masked assailant poured a bucket of red paint over Pitzer...
