Briefly stated, the radical argument for actions such as those of the November Action Coalition (NAC) is that certain projects within a university should be "stopped" because they serve an evil function-usually aiding the United States in suppressing people's liberation movements throughout the world. The task of radicals, therefore, is to build a movement which will become powerful enough to "stop" those projects. Tactics-violent or non-violent-cannot be considered on an a priori basis. but only in terms of what will most aid the building of the movement at a given point...
...continue within high-density urban areas, there is at least no reason why those who reject cars under such circumstances should not be granted some measure of isolation from their harmful effects. Devices aimed toward that end might at the same time serve to encourage the automobile's proper function: medium-distance travel, commercial transport, and travel in low-density areas. Incentives and deterrents, wisely employed, may still be capable of effecting such a shift; before long, however, the situation maybe beyond curing except through disagreeable and politically doubtful prohibitive legislation...
Anyone who knows what the traditional role of the SA has been cannot be surprised at Hokanson's actions on the anti-Vietnam petition. The SA's traditional role has been that of a well-dressed social committee, the main function of which was to provide M. B.

This is perhaps a distortion, but anybody can tell you that that's a newspaper's most important function. One consideration is Ed Marinaro's return to the Cornell lineup. Since Columbia is allowing about 240 yards per game on the ground. I would guess that the Big Red would take advantage of this weakness. And the game is in Ithaca-a definite factor. Then again. Columbia is starting to look...
...issues of government involvement are raised in heightened form by the Center's Development Advisory Service, whose primary mission is advice and secondary function is research. The DAS goes to considerable lengths to avoid both the substance and the appearance of U.S. government influence by refusing U.S. government support for its advisory groups and recruiting half its advisors abroad. Whatever the limitations to its advice, they do not stem from particular dogmas nor from solicitude for U.S. interests. In fact, the services of the Harvard Advisory Service are in demand from a variety of governments largely because it is known...
