...fighting for the sake of peace, the only peace that is worth the name: that is, peace based on justice. The great mistake our enemy has made is that he thought the force of terrorism could guarantee security. [The Israelis] are now faced with [a war of] attrition. That we can bear much better than they can. I would like to add, so they may hear in Israel: we are not advocates of annihilation. Egyptian missiles are now on their pads ready to be launched to the deepest depths of Israel. We could have given the signal and issued...
...graffiti on a mortarboard. At Loyola, the singing commercial seemed to please the faculty but it outraged the student newspaper. Labeling the pitch "degrading and embarrassing," an editorial declared: "Loyola is not a used-car dealership, or a carry-out Chinese restaurant or a discount department store.

...Ukiyo, the Floating World-a little universe that stretched from the theater changeroom to the sake bar, from teahouse to whorehouse-was populated by actors, balladeers, pimps, wrestlers, inquisitive artists and, above all, every class and kind of girl.

More frightening, the code consolidates the B.U. president's dictatorial relation to the B.U. faculty. Virtually the same heavy-handed disciplinary provisions apply to faculty as to students.

...freedom in return for the right to continue, in labs and libraries, Defense Department, as well as other academic, work. B.U. students are now threatened, but at least B.U. radicals know their enemies. That is the contradiction which Harvard students face and which the B.U. Five illustrate. For the sake of a radical political campaign, a Faculty discussion on ROTC or recruiting would be provocative. But for the sake of students' civil liberties, all students should hope that the balance of power -- particularly diciplinary power -- makes no sudden shifts towards the Presidential office...
