...calls it the key to the University. "I start from the question," Liller muses, "'What if there were on rules?'" It's a question Liller has not yet answered fully in his own mind, but he has definite ideas. "I strongly resist the encroachments of the University on the everyday life of the students," he affirms. Parietals and other rules should be as liberal as possible, although "drugs are a different matter from parietals." Liller sees his role as that of an adviser, not a policeman or father, and promises to be available but not obnoxious...
There is nothing highhanded about Thalassa, a 59-year-old British-born grandmother who finds "relief from the everyday pressures of life by working among living things which refuse to be hurried." On her twice-weekly show, Making Things Grow, which is carried on five educational stations in New England, she is to spathiphyllum cannae-folium what TV Chef Julia Child is to pate en croute...

The first Visage, "L'air et l'eau," was dull, using everyday electronic sounds to no new effects. It sounded distressingly like the background music to either an aspirin commercial or a spaceranger episode. "Voix de la Ville" and "Forges," on the other hand, were fresh, and full of exciting ideas, unusual sounds creating a wide range of mental images: massive steam engines running wild, fiery boilers bursting at the seams; or perhaps...
