...school bus has become a symbol of mobility, not upward mobility, but just some kind of mobility--a foot in the door to society. For desegregation alone will not change the poor black's view of city politics and power; even when a black student can look a white teacher in the eye at South Boston High, he still knows where that teacher comes from and how she probably fits into the city's network of cronyism and nepotism, how her mother may hold a feather-bedded job in the School Department downtown, her husband on the Boston police force...
Byker told The Crimson last July that the course was dropped "because of the absence of a full-time teacher, lack of office space, and the opinion that the course does not conform to the Expos 'mold.'" But facts incompatible with these three explanations and contradictory statements from Byker recently have made it difficult to understand exactly why and how the course was really dropped...
There are two catches in Byker's argument concerning the absence of a full-time teacher. First of all, the journalism option last year was limited to four sections by the decision of Byker and the Faculty Committee on expository writing.

Style analysis, former head section man for the option, Martin Robbins, said...
...Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued its 5,000-word statement on homosexuality, premarital sex and masturbation, it was responding in part to complaints that the church was not providing sufficient guidelines for sexual behavior and attitudes. Days later, Father John McNeill, a Jesuit priest and former teacher of moral theology at the now defunct Woodstock College and at Fordham University, won the designation Imprimi Potest (it can be printed) for a book strongly attacking the church's views on homosexuality. It had taken two years to win that designation, which is not an endorsement. Jesuit Superior...
