...Fugs of the 1960s, in their song When the Mode of the Music Changes. And it sounds a theme that is growing louder, if not clearer, throughout contemporary rock: change, wildness, rebellion against civil authority. Social and political revolution, that catchword of radical left rhetoric, is becoming a fashionable topic for more and more rock groups-at least as far as their lyrics...
...months after CBS announced Goldmark's plans for a revolutionary "educational art form" that could turn every TV set into a teaching machine. Though an EVR owner will not be able to record his own programs, he will be able to order pre-made films on almost any topic. In theory, a family equipped with EVR will become a self-contained educational center: Junior will study the sex life of grasshoppers (the subject Goldmark drolly demonstrated last week), Father will settle back for an evening of golf lessons or an audio-visual version of LIFE and Mother will sharpen...
...quality of the university academically. Harvard offers two reasons for the present situation. First, economic considerations force Harvard to get a certain percentage who can pay their fees in full. This reason would disappear if it could be shown that Harvard does not need the funds from tuition, a topic to be taken up in a future CRIMSON feature page.

Those from Choate?) This implies preppies are more...
...exchange of ideas was the purpose, however, the nature of the conference format was less than ideal. The topic of the four day talks was no less than "the United States: its Problems, Image and Impact in the World."

For obvious reasons, much of the scheduled exchange...
...both pragmatically and ideologically incorrect. The CRIMSON has a limited amount of space to devote to any given story; we neither can nor should provide exhaustive transcripts of every meeting we cover. Even so, we have devoted more space to the ROTC debate than to any other single topic this Fall. Since early October, we have had 15 news stories, an editorial, a news analysis, and a feature on ROTC. Each of the arguments raised at last week's SFAC meeting has been raised somewhere before, and each has been reported at least once in the CRIMSON...
