Thus, one test of the overall Faculty response will be the attendance of Faculty associates who attend the initial House meetings on curricular reform.

It is questionable whether white conservatives would accept pro-Negro legislation strong enough to wean the Negroes from their near-total loyalty to the Democratic ticket in 1964. But while the Republicans choose which horn of the dilemma on which to impale themselves, they can take solace in one thought--even though the G.O.P. is the party of Thurmond and Goldwater, and of the five states...
