...last October's Manhattan sculp ture festival, Artist Claes Oldenburg hired two professional gravediggers to shovel out a coffin-sized hole in Central Park, then fill it up again. Olden burg thereupon solemnly proclaimed the result a buried, invisible sculpture. Last month it was time for the West Coast's retort. At Los Angeles' Century City, three young artists constructed a sculpture that disappeared slowly before the spectators' eyes, vanishing without a trace within 24 hours. The form: a 110-ft.-long, 15-ft.-wide, 22-in.-high labyrinth. The material: dry ice, shaped into blocks...
Notified by the Tokyo observatory, scientists at the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass., announced the existence of the new comet. It was the 14th discovered during 1967, one more than the previous yearly record of 13. In honor of the discoverers, the Smithsonian named it Ikeya-Seki 1967n (the 14th letter in the alphabet). The new Ikeya-Seki, the Smithsonian reported, had a brightness of only the ninth magnitude and would gradually fade away without becoming visible to the naked...
What New York did, in 1948, was to lump every unit of public higher education in the state* into one vast multiversity. By the standards of the past, S.U.N.Y. hardly seems like a university at all. Instead of one central campus, it has 59: four major university centers (at Stony Brook, Buffalo, Binghamton and Albany), ten four-year colleges of arts and science, two medical centers, seven specialized colleges in such fields as forestry and labor relations, six two-year agricultural and technical schools, and 30 junior colleges...

Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with preliminary plans including a mile-long central building, the project will cost about $600 million...
...freshman openings this year at Albany. Part of the appeal is the most striking physical setting of any S.U.N.Y. campus. Designed by Edward Durell Stone, even down to the burgundy carpets in the student lounges, it cost $110 million and features four 23-story towers, overlooking a central cluster of academic buildings within a columned walkway. A few student cynics dub it "Miami Beach North," but Governor Rockefeller proudly orders pilots of his private plane to fly over the campus
