Lifting the Lid. Big state universities, under the eyes of legislatures, are often a bit more cautious. The University of Colorado this fall at first prevented a student group from selling the fiercely anti-Lyndon Johnson A Texan Looks at L.B.J., then granted permission after thinking it over. Indiana University refused to discipline three members of the Young Socialist Alliance whose indictments under the state antisubversive law for campus speechmaking, quashed by lower courts, have been appealed by the state to the Indiana Supreme Court. Wayne State lifted a ban against Communist speakers on campus, then retreated and barred...

Nowhere are these torrid troops used more effectively than in the South, where Republican organizations are now far more efficient than the long-complacent Democratic groups there. In New Orleans, Texan LeRoy Ellis, 29, plots Goldwater strategy for Louisiana in a "war room" covered with 13 maps pegging population growth and political patterns in every parish. His precinct workers have assembled 600,000 IBM cards containing the name and address of every Louisiana urban voter, all of whom will be reached...
