...spanking new paper, which published its first three issues last spring. It represents the libertarian political viewpoints. The four-to six-page issues have an amazingly odd range of material in them, mostly denouncing something or other as a threat to individual liberties and so on. Its future is unclear, but it's interesting to watch, even if the writing in it is something short of lucid...
...Kill the messenger" is what the surly viewer thinks after being subjected to this latest and surely last edition of Bad News. Though what this means is unclear: Kill Tony Curtis, the wretched main character? Kill John Berry, the chartless director? Kill the theater projectionist? A few years ago, there was a cheerful film called The Bad News Bears, about an endearingly inept kiddy baseball team. It starred the endearingly ept child star Tatum O'Neal...

...future of the new government is still unclear: Dean Epps has warned that the minority clause may be illegal, and other administrators have refused to say whether the assembly will be allowed to play an active role in selecting representatives to the student-faculty committees. Nonetheless, the Student Assembly will take office next semester, and the administration may well have to do some hard thinking about how it will deal with a suddenly louder student voice...
