From the Academy

The handsomest and glossiest publication is brand new: The Westwood Village Square, P. O. Box 24904, West Los Angeles, California, quarterly 75¢ per copy. With many illustrations (including color plates) and much advertising, Square is not a local journal, despite its title. The principal editors are Ed Butler, Oliver Carlson, and Alan Bock, and they appeal to college students and others who are repelled by, or may be weaned away from, the conformity of the Left. Despite its flamboyant appearance, Square (cartoon strips, pretty girls, and all) contains some serious studies and good prose. I commend “The Rise of the Fourth Reich? Inside New Politics,” by Howard Costigan; and “Who’s Afraid of Mary Jane?”, a first-hand study of hippie responses, by Chris Outwater.

Conservatives at Dartmouth College publish the Conservative Idea; the editor is Mr. William S. Lind; one can be put upon the mailing list (Dartmouth Conservative Society, Box 826, Hinman Post Office, Hanover, New Hampshire) free of charge, but donations are appreciated. Last November’s issue has much to say about military problems, and includes a contribution, “The Coming Violence in America,” by the versatile Professor Jeffrey Hart. The Fordham Conservative, published twice a year by the Fordham University Conservative Club and edited by Mr. John W. Mahon, contains some perceptive short articles on laissez-faire, Edmund Burke, the “Domesticated Society,” and the Sino-Soviet Conflict.
