...look for Khesanh offers limited encouragement, but the prospects for long-term avoidance of nukes in Vietnam are slim. General Wheeler said two weeks ago that he "doesn't think nuclear weapons will be necessary to defend Khesanh"; but implicit in that statement is the rationale that somewhere else the military might consider them necessary. And if the battle of Khesanh does not end the war, experts see two ways that the "necessary" time could come...
...legislative forays into the classroom and the fruitlessness of such an ex post facto inquiry are compelling reasons for the legislature to ignore approval of the measure by the Education Committee. Furthermore, the moral and legal problems involved in draft resistance are still far from solution, and the implicit condemnation of anti-war activity made in setting up this commission is biased and premature...
Wicker rushed down from New Hampshire, where he was covering the primary campaigns, to protest the outsider's appointment. Reston rushed up from Washington. Everyone now insists that resignations were never threatened, but the danger of losing Reston, Wicker and White House Correspondent Max Frankel was implicit. Top journalistic talent is hard to find these days, and the loss of such stars was too much to risk. Punch Sulzberger capitulated, agreed to reverse his decision. Greenfield resigned, shook hands all round and walked out of the Times without even bothering to clean out his desk. Behind him he left...
That such a concentration in education which would result from the present pass-fail proposal is not intended is evidenced by the rejection in the December faculty meeting of Professor Handlin's proposal of a simple three graded course system. To the extend that the incentive structure implicit in the present pass-fail proposal has been appropriately represented above, this vote on Handlin's amendment is essentially a rejection of the present pass-fail proposal. What is at issue is not the objective, but the means; the pass-fail option as presently proposed is clearly unsatisfactory...
...graded system, and given the present use of grades, there is no marginal change by which the university can induce students to channel much effort outside of graded courses. The fifth course proposal comes the closest, and is consistent with the premise that the allocation of effort implicit in a four course graded system is preferred to three, a premise substantialted by the faculty's action on the Handlin Amendment. The faculty and student body need reconsider the present pass-fail vote in light of that vote. Mahlon Straszheim Assistant Professor Department of Economics
