...ideology, and politics, continues under the new constitution to string PBHA on a tightrope. A fine line between community organizing and political action in some Brooks House programs is impossible to draw. So far PBHA has had limited involvement or success in the realm of political activity. The use of the word "political" to describe PBHA's purpose in the new constitution pleases members who are defensive about the House's lingering fruit-basket image, but it could also endanger PBHA's financial tie with the University and its tax-exempt status as a charitable and educational organization...
...fair that non-resident students should pay something for college facilities they use. Exactly how much and for what shouldn't be left un-examined by the RUS.

For you skiers who like Waterville, but not the Harvard-Wellesley bus syndrome, you can get a college discount on lift tickets during the week if you present your bursar's card...
...many ghetto Negroes, better-than-average coordination is the only ticket out of poverty. Negro track stars like John Lindsay's Director of Recreation, Hayes Jones, often use the publicity of an Olympic medal to land good jobs, the standouts in team sports go on to play for pay, and boxers like Cassius Clay and Floyd Patterson win professional crowns...
