...some professors who were members of it, was trying to get a temporary injunction to stop the university from acting until it could look at the alternatives. For some reason, they weren't going to be able to get the injunction until about 10 a.m., but the university had sort of indicated that it would only clear away brush until 10 a.m. (You always clear away undergrowth before pushing down big trees- otherwise you have a big tangle that's hard to clean...
...left-over police talking at a few students. I talked to a reporter from The New York Times and then wandered over to Erwin.

But, then again, the two men are very different from each other. Maybe captain Gary Farneti can effect some changes in the level of team spirit...
...this turmoil indicates that the Administration is beginning to face an economic credibility problem, though not of the sort that it has been talking about. Nixon men have said that they are having trouble convincing business, labor and consumers that the Government will stick to its prescribed anti-inflation policy long enough to cut the rate of price increases substantially...
