noncommercial users with acknowledgement of the source. Many articles
can be found in electronic form on the World Wide Web at

Policy for the Gazette is set out in a document approved by the
president of the university December 3, 1979, and reaffirmed October
14, 1983. Copies are available on request. The policy requires
"tolerance, pluralism, scepticism, perception, and honesty"; "a
balance" in the content of the Gazette; "continued efforts to report
and express accurately all the viewpoints which are relevant to a
particular question"; and avoidance of "seducing readers into
particular opinions or conclusions". It gives responsibility for
content to the editor, subject to constraints which are clearly set
out. Accordingly, views expressed or implied in the Gazette are not
intended to, and do not necessarily, reflect official university
policy.
