...nearly every department and school of the University. Using machines at Harvard and M.I.T., scientists have, in past years, programmed a computer to simulate a complex business operation, to create a "model" river system now being used on problems of water logging and salinity in the Indus River Basin, and to help determine the authors of the Federalist Papers...
...Harvard Yacht Club lost the Schell Regatta to the Coast Guard Academy 133-131, Sunday in the Charles Charles River Basin. Crimson sailors, who had won all six previous events of this season, tied for second place with M.I.T. for the Erwin E. Schell Trophy.

On Sunday, although racing was hampered by light and unpredictable winds, seven of the twelve scheduled races in each of the two divisions were sailed...
...this will change. Under way in the Arkansas basin is one of the most costly river-development programs in U.S. history. To be completed in 1970, the project will spend $1.2 billion (against $1 billion for the St. Lawrence Seaway) to create a navigable channel 9 ft. deep with a width of 150-250 ft. all the way from the Mississippi 516 miles west to the town of Catoosa, Okla...
...lake lining of seepage-proof polyethylene plastic only six millimeters thick (asphalt and clay break up under water after a time; cement is too expensive). The two top companies in the field, both in California, are Palco, Inc. of Indio and Kepner Plastics of Torrance. In a bulldozed lake basin, plastic is laid down in strips up to 40 ft. wide and 400 ft. long at the rate of about half an acre a day. The strips are sealed together (one company uses heat, the other mastic and tape). The resulting seams are buried in twelve-inch trenches and covered...
...championship series began Saturday on the Charles River Basin in shifty northeast winds of about 10 knots. The rains came all day, periodicaly submerging the pavilion docks and consistently drenching the crews...
