My only criticism (which seems to be a prerequisite for publication in Critics Comer I mean Readers Viewpoints) is that you don't play enough jazz, especially on the weekends. Would you consider changing to suit me? Oh well, I can accept you the way you are.

Tom seemed shocked by this action of THE CANYON RACQUET CLUB for . IX and Harmon. First of all, as Tom well knows, in 1974, as ASUU President I appointed three people (Kurt Nutting, Jim Waldo and Cliff Williams) to the Publications Council for two specific reasons: One, and they were reflected and my competent own feelings on how the well-qualifi- ed Chronicle and other University publications should be run. Two, I knew that if Rex Nutting applied to be the Editor of the Chronicle, these three appointees would vote for him, which happened to be the result I wanted. The point of the above is that if Harmon wants to make which will appointments reflect his philosophy (whether he did nor not), then absent any contrary action by the assembly, that's the way it is; if I wanted to make such appointments (which I did) then that's life, too. Tom should either recognize this or be uniform in his criticism and lambast me for doing what Harmon did when my appointments concerned a liberal editor. Second, even if Harmon did fix the appointments, so what? Does it really matter if we have a conservative or a liberal editor?
