Students justifiably argue that they should not have to live under more restrictive conditions than their noncollege peers who have jobs. Yet countless wrangles over dormitory visitation rights and check-in hours persist because universities fear that parents want their offspring sheltered-a practical impossibility. Actually, many campuses that have let students create such rules have found them almost as stern about conduct as those imposed by the administration...
...more recently an accepted form of academic endeavor. All problems of undergraduate views of business aside, it is then easy to see why the most academically oriented students, questioning the validity of this upstart graduate discipline, turn to the older, more established courses of graduate study. This problem will persist until scholars are convinced that the study of management as a profession has every bit as much intellectual content as the other graduate studies.

Sprayed over forests, the chemicals cause from 40% to 75% defoliation within a month, exposing enemy strongholds and troop movements. And yet, say the scientists, the herbicides used in Viet Nam do not persist in the soil at toxic levels; new vegetation soon springs...
