...Afro-American Society and Alpha Phi Alpha, responding to two race-related incidents that sparked two rallies in under a week, submitted a set of fourteen demands to the college calling for across-the-board recognition of minority issues and concerns. The demands include...
Furthermore, in order to quell fears of a witchhunt, the commission has set up strict rules of procedure concerning its handling of disclosure forms. Investigations by the commission remain confidential. Any breach of that confidentiality carries a fine of up to $1000 or one year in jail or both.

Some defensive administrators suggest that anyone rummaging through an official's files should also be investigated...

"Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting" goes back to 1959, when Mingus recorded it on his Blues and Roots album. This arrangement begins and ends with singing and handclapping, which set a tone of unrestrained fervor. The climax of this rough and rambling church shout is a flaming tenor solo by Ricky Ford, the last in a long line of great saxophonists who discovered themselves in Mingus's Jazz Workshops. In "Caroline 'Keki' Mingus," a ballad, altoist Lee Konitz lovingly introduces...
