...first issue, 175 pages long, will consist entirely of articles written by outside contributors on topics ranging from women's athletics to the Equal Rights Amendment. Future issues will contain articles, notes, comments and book reviews written by students, Carol Schrager, an editor-in-chief, said yesterday...
...Roussos, president of the committee. "They not only studied Italian, but attended cultural courses. It's inhuman to do this to them." Other parents and students are flying to Italy to protest in person. "The timing of the ban came as a total and complete shock," says Albert Schrager, 54, whose nonprofit Italo-American Medical Education Foundation has for five years shepherded American medical students into Italian med schools and invited Italian doctors to do research...

In only two cases did the previous identification hold up. "Asking for a fair and accurate system of identification is often connected with some kind of bleeding-heart thing," says Robert Kasanof of New York's Legal...
