...flying in VNAF helicopters. Though General Tri had a South Vietnamese pilot for his fatal flight, most other Vietnamese generals now travel in U.S. Army choppers, fearful that VNAF pilots may lose their way. Fortnight ago a VNAF helicopter carrying U.S. newsmen got temporarily but totally lost over unfamiliar terrain in South Viet Nam. In another case, a VNAF pilot casually chalked map coordinates to his destination on the outside of his chopper windshield, only to find himself forced to try to read them backwards from the inside of his ship during flight...
...effects of the new mood are unmistakable. Students are studying with unfamiliar zeal. "The undergraduates are not only doing all the assigned readings, they're even doing the supplementary reading," notes Amherst Political Science Professor Hadley Arkes. "It's fun to teach again," says Wisconsin Professor David Tarr.

Prior to the confrontation, Butler had said there was "a standing order to hire any qualified black electrician," but that none had been found. After hearing Bridgman's allegation, Butler denied that the employee had been "lied" to when hired, but said he was unfamiliar with the case...
...discouraging undergraduates from volunteering. The contrary is the case. The subcommittee or members of the full Committee never sought to explain why our membership was highest precisely when we were most professional. We do not believe it is responsible at any level to send out volunteers into unfamiliar field settings without some training, some ongoing supervision, and a well-administered program. Undergraduates administering PBH programs must work forty hours or more weekly. PBH depends annually on the supply of experienced and committed volunteers returning who are willing to put in this time. They determine how many places can be made...
