Now that thelxmt>scare is 
     
     over, we can get back to the 
     
     business at hand. Namely, the 
     
     production of this paper. It 
     
     i takes-a great amount of time 
     
     and effort for a handfull of 
     
     people to get this paper out 
     
     every week. The response to

     As you all must know, the 
     
     proposals of the Presidents 
     
     Cannittee were rejected in 
     
     Senate last week. I think 
     
     we now should take some steps 
     
     to insure that this same 
     
     situation does not happen 
     
     again next year. Just because

     It was painful to heap

     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

     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-

     having an administration

     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

     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

     estly made, and naturallly 
     
     drew attention. Many of 
     
     my colleagues told me 
     
     personally that they dis~ 
     
     agreed with specific rec- 
     
     ommendations. I respect 
     
     their opinions, as indeed 
     
     l respect the people who 
     
     expressed them. VMy dises,
