...Christmas but still living under total mouth arrest, Andreas Papandreou, 48, son of former Greek Premier George Papandreou and one of the most nettlesome critics of Greece's military junta, has decided to carry on elsewhere. Papandreou will return to the U.S., where he taught economics at Berkeley from 1955 to 1959, and will presumably accept one of the academic offers he has received from Northwestern, Brandeis and Berkeley. The U.S. Government is amenable to the plan (Papandreou's wife and four children are American citizens), and the junta is delighted. "He is the idol of the whole...
After a series of campus uprisings, the University of California at Berkeley last January set up a joint student-faculty committee to study ways to avert future disorders. This week the committee-headed by Law Professor Caleb Foote and Graduate Student Henry E. Mayer-released a 250-page report that charged almost everybody involved in past troubles with pursuing "partisan ends" but also recommended some sound proposals as to how the school should govern itself...
...present university setup. It argued that Governor Ronald Reagan was "consistently unfriendly" and that the regents had proved "ineffectual in protecting the freedom and integrity" of the school-both propositions that are open to debate. It blamed the university president for failing to give each campus enough autonomy, and Berkeley Chancellor Roger Heyns for not developing a meaningful dialogue with the faculty. The professors, in turn, operated in "a milieu of confusion and uncertainty"-not to mention indifference-with respect to their powers. Too many students, the report said, displayed "an appallingly high rate of disaffection and disinterest toward" their...
Best of Both. Although salaries at state universities still lag behind those at the top private schools, the best public institutions can now get the best professors-a fact witnessed by academic recognition of Berkeley as a finer all-round school on the graduate level than Harvard. Massachusetts now pays full professors an average $17,300-and President John Lederle is an aggressive raider of private-university faculties. Among his recent catches: University of Chicago Mathematician Marshall Harvey Stone, N.Y.U. Botanist Oswald Tippo, Yale Physicist Robert Gluckstern and lohns Hopkins Astrophysicist John D. Strong, who brought...
...station WTHT, then organized a radio-appreciation course for his students. In 1934, while on a year's leave studying English at Cambridge, he met a young Finnish woman, Laura Ohman; they corresponded, were married two years later. (They have one son, Richard, who studied at Harvard and Berkeley, is now assistant curator at New York City's American Museum of Natural History.) Gould completed his credits for an M.A. at N.Y.U., started Ph.D. studies at Harvard, but financial pressures forced him to give them...
