...recent conduct of the students at Columbia University [May 3] was superfluous, atrocious and inane. As soon as the students "captured" the various buildings Mr. Kirk should have given the order for the police to remove the students in any manner they deemed necessary. The method that the police exercised was excellent, but, I'm afraid, not quite as forceful as I, and many others, would like to have seen. When a minority of shaggyhaired rebels can seize college buildings and take human beings captive, our society is definitely lacking in some standard of subordination...
...fact is that most whites, like most Negroes, still remain outside the civil rights movement, often by choice. The small army of suburbanites that descended on New York City's ghetto districts one recent weekend, brooms and paintbrushes in hand, left most of their neighbors at home in various degrees of disinterest.

For her campaign, she simply passed out posters of her nude self with the legend "Vicky for Pres." It was obviously the right approach for Stanford's heavily male (5-to-2 ratio) student population, which gave her 1,575 votes and made her a heavy favorite...
...University Catalogue states, "Considerable authority has by necessity been delegated by the Corporation to the various faculties, deans, and administrative boards of the schools and different departments." In financial matters, the Administration formulates budgets and legislation while the Corporation approves them; on educational policy; the Faculty and Administration interchange in the initiating and ratifying roles; on permanent academic appointments, the departments make recommendations and the Administration setup ad hoc committees to ratify the appointments. In all cases, a system of restraints exists between the Administration and Faculty oligarchies on matters of initiation and ratification. The Corporation, despite its mythical reputation...
