Papers. This was old P. Bender Bartlett's specialty, and the Bartiett Boom remains standard. Although many variations are permitted, it was the master's own strategy to assign one two-page and one thirty-page paper each term. He criticized the two-pager in great detail, and marked it stiffly; thus students were driven to invest a good deal of time into the thirty-pager--only to get it back ungraded, with the comment, "I don't think one can measure an effort of this sort by a number or letter...
...receives visitors, the original pictures have been taken down (with the hooks left hanging), and portraits of N.L.F. Leader Nguyen Huu Tho and a young Viet Cong hero executed by the South Vietnamese stare down at a television set, several easy chairs, a chest topped by the N.L.F. standard and a conference table covered with green cloth, surrounded by eight straight-backed chairs. Through the bay windows of the salon, Madame Binh looks out on a small lake with its own island and six elegant white swans. Most of the petit bourgeois neighborhood took the Viet Cong's arrival...
Flatulent View, Since each program was padded to fill at least a two-hour magazine format, the arresting segments were buried among too many soporific ones. PBL wasted time too often duplicating the spot news and standard documentary coverage that the commercial networks already were doing thoroughly and more lavishly.

Martyrs Without Martyrdom. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, of Japanese-American parents, Hayakawa has studied in Canada and the U.S. The most famous of his books, Language in Action, which he published in 1941, not only became a bestseller but is still a standard college text. A man of many and varied talents, Hayakawa for five years wrote a column in Chicago's Negro newspaper, Defender, served as director of the Institute of Jazz Studies in New York, and taught English at the University of Chicago before he joined S.F. State's English department...
Last month Hayakawa angrily reported to a faculty meeting that "black students are again disrupting the campus." And he attacked teachers who condoned or defended the disruption. "There are many whites who do not apply to blacks the same standard of morality and behavior they apply to whites," he said. "This is an attitude of moral conde scension that every self-respecting Negro has a right to resent-and does resent." As a semanticist, Hayakawa said, he wished to comment on "the intellectually slovenly habit, now popular among whites as well as blacks, of denouncing as racist those who oppose...
