...decision to abolish the scholarship program struck a sensitive nerve in the graduate student body. In response to the announcement, a group of teaching fellows and non-teaching graduate students voted to form a union, whose membership eventually grew to 1169--out of a total of 2785 graduate students...
Stung by the amount and extreme violence of such punishment, Dallas Attorney Fred Time recently brought suit against the school district on behalf of the parents of Oliver, Ware and others. Time did not seek to abolish corporal punishment altogether, but to limit it to cases where parents gave their approval. He lost his suit when the Fifth Circuit Court agreed with a lower court that they had no jurisdiction, but he plans an appeal. Said Time last week: "We are going to try to go all the way to the Supreme Court...
...fear of coming on as the big-moneyed media candidate. In last week's primary there were signs that the ecological message was getting through: 11 of the 23 candidates who won seats in the House of Delegates had the endorsement of the increasingly popular "Citizens to Abolish Strip Mining Inc." Sweeping out Moore, a savvy campaigner whose vote-pulling power started with the student body presidency at West Virginia University and ran through six terms as a U.S. Congressman, is something else. But Rockefeller has his own tradition to uphold. Harking back to his great-grandfather, the first...
Dean Jones, both in his letter of March 8 calling the graduate students' meeting, and at the meeting itself, claimed that an "intensifying problem of financial aid for graduate study" existed at Harvard. The administrative solution to the supposedly "critical situation" was to abolish teaching fellow Staff Tuition Scholarships (STS), tuition rebates held by about half of this year's teaching fellows. The STS money, administered up to now by a separate office, was to be allocated as part of general financial aid to the departments to divide as they...
...years? Houses could become mere dormitories, with House courses a thing of the past. Students would be faced with large lecture courses; if sections are offered at all, their size might well increase to 30 or 50 students each--pressure is already being placed upon department heads to abolish sections in upper level courses. Tutorial might become optional; sophomore tutorial might disappear. It is also conceivable that many graduate students would choose to withdraw from the university after fulfilling their residence requirement (thus by-passing tuition payment), and seek outside jobs. The number of teaching fellows then available would drop...
