...heights last week with a troupe of inner-city youths and the Chicago City Ballet in a benefit for the Better Boys Foundation. Gault, 26, put in five practice sessions (but no chalk talk) for his number to the music of Webern. He was partnered by Ballerina Maria Terezia Balogh, whom he lifted with the greatest of ease before an appreciative audience that included Teammate Jim McMahon. Says Balogh of her dancing Bear: "He was very gentle, very relaxed and very sensitive." But not without reservations about tackling the finer arts. "I didn't know if I'd want...
...Cheating is not endemic," says Johns Hopkins Dean Sigmund Suskind. "It's epidemic. My colleagues all over agree." Yale Dean Eva Balogh describes it as "rampant." At Lehigh University, a telephone poll shows that fully 47% of the students have cheated on exams, and at the University of Southern California, the student newspaper reports that as many as 40% have resorted to plagiarism...
Indeed, in the past few years, the grade glut has been spreading across academe. At Yale, 42% of all undergraduate spring-term grades were A's, and 46% of the senior class graduated with honors. "It's ridiculous," says Eva Balogh, dean of Yale's Morse College. "They get a B and they bawl. It takes a man or woman of real integrity to give a B." At American University, 75% of all grades last spring were A's and B's, leading an undergraduate dean to ask for a faculty inquiry. At the University...
Success Overlooked. Balogh's ideas are an. odd mixture of common sense and doctrinaire Pestering. He believes that capitalism is "on the defensive" and distrusts the "North Atlantic Protestant atmosphere" that favors private initiative. "Only totalitarianism and Communist compulsion," he says, "have succeeded in lifting poverty-stricken countries onto the road of progressive improvement." Balogh's tune has hardly changed a note since the early postwar era, when he proclaimed confidently that only the long continuance of direct economic controls could restore Europe's prosperity...
...denies that today's underdeveloped nations will have to use considerable planning and controls if they hope to make progress, but Balogh's case is too extreme, too rigid. Harold Wilson's friend seems to overlook the resounding success of Western Europe's market economies. He also ignores the fact that the Communist world, prodded by such economists as Russia's Evsei Liberman and Czechoslovakia's Ota Sik, is rapidly loosening state controls and adopting Western methods of enterprise. Above all, he fails to mention the recent advances of free enterprise from Chile...
