...beyond argument that the generation attuned to rock, pot and sex will drastically change the world it grew up in. The question is: How and to what purpose? Columbia Sociologist Amitai Etzioni applauds the idealism of the young but argues that "they need more time and energy for reflection" as well as more opportunities for authentic service. Ultimately, the great danger of the counter-culture is its self-proclaimed flight from reason, its exaltation of self over society, its Dionysian anarchism. Historian Roszak points out that the rock revolutionaries bear a certain resemblance to the early Christians...
...activity. After having been obliged to give up his dental practice, Blaiberg was bedfast. It was problematical whether he would hold out for another month or even a week. In these circumstances, Barnard felt fully justified in removing Blaiberg's heart and replacing it with that of a young "Cape Colored" (half-caste) man, Clive Haupt, who had died of a stroke.

Last week New York's Mayor John Lindsay appointed two young trustees to the city's board of higher education, which governs New York's 19-campus City University.

Henry, a 21-year-old Princeton senior, helped to seize a campus building last March to protest his school's investment ties with South Africa. Henry's plans as a trustee, however, are reassuringly moderate. "I will listen," he said, "to the students and the deans and their views before making decisions...
Though youthful trustees tend to be moderates, they still have definite ideas about how their campuses must change. Henry intends to push for greater student influence in shaping Princeton's curriculum. Like most young trustees, he also wants to see the university become more involved in the community. New York's Maria Canino will use her influence as trustee to modify CUNY's entrance requirements. The university, she says, must "bring in larger minority representation...
