When the Ivy Eligibility Committee this month published a section of the league eligibility code in Ivy alumni magazines, it was doing more than issuing a tacit warning to alumni. At the same time with the statement was a subtle announcement that the committee had discovered a violation and had acted upon it--by declaring a Yale football player ineligible from intercollegiate competition. While such a general statement was ill-advised--the ultimate leakage of the story led to unnecessary publicity to names and facts--the judgment of the committee seems sober and correct...
...Morocco is perpetrated by native Moors, and not all the European guns are used in self-defense. In recent weeks, there has been an increase of cases of European terrorism aimed at the natives. Often the activities of the "counter-terrorists," as they call themselves, are conducted with the tacit complicity of local cops, who have little patience with the slow-moving machinery of French justice.

At that time the Council had set up certain criteria for organizations which were to receive its tacit endorsement by being listed on the solicitation card. Its ruling stipulated that charities, to be so listed, must be student oriented, must be partially dependent on student funds, and must spend no more than ten percent of their income for administrative expenses. Now, however, the Council has decided to permit exceptions to the latter specification--the ten percent rule--for some charities...
