...these new responsibilities do not mean that Arthurs will have to abandon completely her concerns of the past two years. "I'll still play a role in admissions," she says, "but it won't be a central or pivotal role. I'll read some folders, sit in on committee meetings." Arthurs will remain a member of the Faculty's standing committee on admissions and financial aid and will probably chair a sub-committee that will review the results of the first year of equal access. It is a task she is looking forward...

France was prepared to give the Comoros their independence months ago. But one of the islands, Mayotte (pop. 37,000), which has many Christians, complained that it would be swallowed up by the other three, which are populated by Arabs and blacks. It begged Paris not to abandon it, and the French National Assembly decided that the other three islands could go their way but Mayotte could wave the tricolor just as long as it wanted to. Last month Comoro's Chief Minister Ahmed Abdallah, a Moslem zealot, declared unilateral independence for all the islands, Mayotte included...
