...cross country team journeys to Providence this afternoon to face Brown at the site of Harvard's last dual meet loss just two years ago. Since that Friday afternoon in 1966. Bruin cross country fortunes have slipped steadily while the Crimson harriers have rolled up eighteen straight dual meet triumphs...
...along with students. Unlike Berkeley, U.C.L.A. has never had a major student rebellion. Former Chancellor Murphy, now chairman of the Los Angeles Times Mirror Co., gives Young credit for that record. He calls him "the best-qualified academic administrator in the country."

After he began working on the Bruin, Weiss found a double inspiration in a U.C.L.A. husband-wife anthropology team, Lewis and Sally Binford. "They're heretics," he says. "Sharp, biting, absolutely brilliant." He switched to anthropology, wants to teach it because it blends his desire to be scientifically precise and his interest in people. He has pushed his grades up to a 3.8 average in his major, has a four-year graduate fellowship at the University of New Mexico. He hopes to avoid military service as a conscientious objector...
