...Advanced Standing can by himself drastically reinterpret the office's regulations. Harnett's action is certainly disfunctional to those trying to create an atmosphere of genuine student-Faculty-administration cooperation and consultation. Harnett did not ask the Faculty to debate his reinterpretation. And obviously, Harnett did not take upper-class Advanced Standing students into consideration, many of whom agreed to sign the Advanced Standing contract two or more years ago, with a very different idea of what was expected of them...
...small upper-class group features Mike Koerner, Bob Seals, Tom Spengler, and Howie Foye. Seals and Koerner, both juniors, are likely to be the team's top performers if they stay healthy. Both came to Groton in good condition and have continued to develop.

At Macon, Ga., all but 2,000 of the system's 33,000 children showed up for the opening of classes in once segregated schools. And in Houston, blacks and whites went to school together-while Mexican Americans, who resented being classified as white instead of "brown," stayed out in protest...
