The Bennington Banner operates daily except Sundays and holidays from 425 Main Street Bennington Vermont 05201. It is published by the Banner Publishing Corporation and features editorials.
A Bennington editorial weighs the idea of forming a consolidated community fund in New York Times fashion. It cites many existing drives and urges cooperative unity to ease burdens on collectors and donors. The piece notes past failures but argues a united approach could benefit the entire community and the Banner's publicity role.
An essay notes a nationwide anti thankful mood this Thanksgiving. Inflation worries and calls to end the Vietnam War fuel frustration. It cites a Brooklyn school strike affecting students citywide and critiques youth culture from education and dress to discipline and cannabis. Martha Graham offers a counterpoint on life’s brevity as youth seek anti establishment stance.
Increases in uphill rates at New England ski areas push the sport toward the well to do. All day weekend tickets range around nine dollars for adults with junior discounts. Four Vermont resorts offer a four-pack for 375 dollars, while season passes also rise. Despite lower Berkshire prices, overall costs remain high when clothing and equipment are added.
Burlington Free Press notes that college students distrust authority and staged a clash with trustees at the University of Pennsylvania last week. Twelve trustees met with protesters as student demands for a meaningful voice in school affairs surfaced. SDS spokesman Mark Brauer floated resignations while Joseph Cooper urged restraint, and trustee chair William Day pressed that SDS represents only a small fraction of students. The piece warns against letting militant action skew perceptions of student opinion.
A long provocative screed condemns declining taste and rising anarchy and communism. It attacks student protests in Chicago and cites Living Theatre debates with Yale officials, arguing evil exists and urging organized resistance to perceived cultural decay.
The piece argues that presidents are fallible humans, not statues, citing Nixon and Eisenhower’s illnesses and denials. It surveys mental health of past leaders from Washington to Johnson, noting private tensions vs public restraint and the dangers when private life lacks outlet.
Paul L Hackel clarifies his role on Vermont Human Rights Commission and corrects misidentifications with the ACLU. He explains the commission process from complaint intake, attorney review, and investigating commissioner to preliminary recommendations, hearings, and disqualification rules to ensure fair civil liberties protection.
