Alberta Arthurs has only herself to blame for the fact that she is leaving her post as dean of the now-extinct Radcliffe Office of Admissions, Financial Aid and Women's Education to assume the deanship of Harvard's new Office of Undergraduate Affairs. After all, Arthurs has been hard at work for the last two years preparing the scenario for her own exit. Voicing her views "very noisily" on the Strauch Committee, Arthurs pushed for an admissions policy that would make her own Byerly Hall bailiwick superfluous.

Bill Talbert, director of the U.S. Open at Forest Hills, was hot under the collar-and the weather was not to blame. As the nation's most prestigious tennis tournament got under way last week, six of the men players, including top-seeded Jimmy Connors, were not ready. The reason: they were worn out from competing in other tournaments that had ended only the day before. "Golf doesn't permit this," snapped Talbert as he announced the postponement of their matches.
