...began as a radical coalition of student council dissidents, SDS, and the Afro-American Society last week, but it has changed tenor in the past few days. The N.U. Society of American Mechanical Engineers, a group of usually apolitical engineers, joined the SCC today. Student leaders consider the endorsement especially significant at N.U. because it has a large engineering school...
...very definite views of modern jazz piano. His music is filled with gently dissonant surgings, expressive rippling lines that are as romantic as they are atonal, and intuitive, crosshatched rhythms that emerge and then break off. Helping him project this engaging moodiness are John Gilmore's thin-edged tenor sax, Bobby Hutcherson's delicate vibes, the attentive probings of Bassist Richard Davis and the irregular cymbals of Drummer Joe Chambers.

At the same time, the new tax ought to make some change in the tenor of company-union relations. Up to now, when labor negotiations are fiercer than usual, the advantage has been with labor. With full employment and rising prices, unions have been able to negotiate contracts with an average increase of 5% or 6% in wages. The surtax may change this. Economists estimate that one effect will...
