Reagan was hung in effigy on several campuses, but the reaction of university administrators was even more violent and tantamount, his aides say, to "insubordination." Clark Kerr, the president of the nine-campus university system, whom Reagan would like to dump, said that if funds are cut, the quality of education will not be watered down; he would simply ask the Regents to restrict enrollment. Limiting the number of students eligible to attend the university, which is now open to any high school graduate in the top 12.5 per cent of his class, would be a shattering blow to Californians...
This week's House Democratic caucus would doubtless approach the Powell problem with the utmost diffidence, even though the pressure was on to corral him. Sensing that this was the case, Powell issued a statement condemning efforts to dump him from his committee chairmanship as part of a "conspiracy of enormous dimensions."

It was the fourth raid on Ha Gia in two months and served notice on Hanoi that the U.S. would continue blasting strategic targets near the capital, despite the recent international uproar (TIME, Dec. 23) triggered by North Viet Nam's discredited charges that the U.S. was bombing residential areas inside Hanoi itself...
...work out a solution that will satisfy everyone. A solution does not have to mean banning the game; better crowd control by police and transportation directly from the Stadium are two simple steps that could be taken. But Boston cannot merely throw up its hands, nor can Cambridge dump the problem in Harvard's lap. The issue is between the two cities, they cannot dodge the responsibility for settling...
