To the Editor:

It was painful to heap Meincke'sdpatroniEingf” responses and it was pain- ful to hear Joe Revell's replies to those great defenses of the University given by students lately. Joe kept telling us - like a broken record - that the bottom line is economic.

Thisis painful because the

last place for the typ- ically business confusion between means and ends

should be a university. Joe

kept telling us that if we have another solution to THE CRISIS, then We should present it.

Well, here it is: impeach the president, dismiss the deans, and send the school directors back to school. Think of the enormous savings in salaries and

pensions for the University-

enough to pay for several music departments! Think of the costs that could have been avoided by not having an administration that asks others to find solutions after it has

created the problemsl Think

of the costs of incom-

could have avoided by not having a report that under-

the University of having administratOrs who would be truly responsible to the administered and who thus could be held responsible. Why,we could even have administrators who would earn their (sensible, for a change) salaries, not by asking others to find solu- tions for the problems they themselves have created, but by doing such things as advertising and promoting the University and its wonderful setting to the world, by actively recruit- ing students (instead of requiring others, like Music Departments, to do it), by standing up for the University‘and its programs and opposing a restrictive and destruCtive economic and political establishment (instead of_being part of it), and by solving etc- nomic diffiCulties not by out-backs but by pressing for expanded and.better services. is not only no way to run a university,it'snot even the way to run a railroad.

Dear Editor:

Last week, between meet- ings, l was relaxing in my easychairg peﬁliﬁg a banana, and admiring my likeness on the front page of the October lh issue of The Sun. i had a record playing softly in the back- ground. It was a Ken- ny Rogers record. I like Kenny's lyrics. ,l_stili had not geared down from the state of ex~ citement generated by the controversy'over the is- suing of the report of the Presidentfs Advisory Group 'a report I had helped to prepare, and which had just been rejected by the Academic Community; - Z Naturally, l was dis- appointed. My disappoint- ment came not from the fact that people disagreed with the individual rec; ommendations in the report

What we have now.
