res RE: COUNTERORIENTATION WEEK HUN But the important thing that we learned was that the administration was willing to give us all kinds of things, you know, as far as courses. They had‘a thing about three inches thick, you know, paper to run down program to implement for us. But the key question of control, they don't want to deal with.
