Their other main theme 3 to discredit the committee and their methods because, as we heard dime after time, their ex- perts had neither-been consulted by nor included on the commit- tee. One student of psychology, who professed to be speaking on behalf of his colleagues, levelled harsh criticism at the members of the committee: Secondly, they based their recommendations on the views of the parents who are equally ig- norant on the subject of dis- cipline.

One young physicist in Ro, chester, N.Y., reported he has not had a permanent position since graduating and added; “I have made about 150 appli- cations for jobs since January 1969 and have not turned up a single offer except for the tem- porary position I now hold.
