India's problems did not withdraw, though, and Indira has plenty of them. The country faces an acute food short age that has reduced millions of people to near-starvation level. Hindu holy men are agitating for a nationwide ban on cow slaughter. Indian crowds continue to show a growing propensity toward violence and mayhem. The country's economy is stagnant under layers of bureaucratic government control. Be sides all that, Indira will be confronted with an unaccustomed problem: owing to her party's poor performance at the polls, she must not only face a powerful opposition...

A three-man United Nations team is to arrive later this month to explore ways to smooth Aden's road to independence. But FLOSY's Mackawee...
...oppose ranking, and we also oppose draft tests both of which cause competition among students in a race to see who dies first. We should demand that universities withdraw from fighting the "cold" war by refusing to rank anyone (as some schools have done) or better yet by ranking all male students in the upper 25 per cent (as some others have). Universities should also not be involved in administering draft tests on university grounds, or providing university facilities for military activities. It is by raising these demands, demands cutting into the military-industrial complex, by supporting student...
