...danger and unrest at home were not enough for our leaders to cultivate, they have embarked on a military buildup and foreign policy which will turn the U.S. into more of an arsenal that it now is, and which is already destabilizing a volatile world. "Limited government" somehow means unlimited defense spending. The endless spending of billions of dollars on soon-to-be obsolete nuclear hardware bleeds the economy and accelerates an already frenetic arms race. By contrast, conventional forces and supplies are either neglected or supplemented by overly-sophisticated and insufficiently reliable material...

...common denominator shared by Harvard and many of the present student government in the East is a very short history. A great number of the organizations started just a few years ago, slowly emerging from the rubble caused by the unrest on campuses in the late 1960s. At Harvard in 1969. like at Brown and Dartmouth at about the same time, the student government decided to dissolve itself, citing a general lack of student support. The Student Assembly, initiated here in the fall of 1978, was the first attempt since then to have an organized council in addition to student...
