...matter of women in the graduate degree programs at Harvard. Our findings support the charge that although 15 to 19 per cent of the Ph.D.'s awarded annually at Harvard to women, there exists an almost complete absence of tenured women on Harvard's faculty. Yet, many chairmen interviewed stated there was no pool of qualified women applicants for academic positions. This scarcity of women faculty in general is especially noticeable in the School of Education, in which roughly one third of the candidates for the Ed.D. are women; yet, women are only slightly more than 10 per cent...
Remarks made by department chairmen during the interviews indicated practices which contribute to the situation of women at Harvard. The department chairmen indicated that the primary recruitment sources for academic positions are professional meetings and conferences. Valuable employment information and contacts are exchanged at these meetings. This type of recruiting tends to be covertly discriminatory, because most of the information regarding employment possibilities is not available to persons who are not a part of this "select circle...
...Affirmative Action Plans of individual departments with the possible exception of one are not in keeping with the attitudes displayed by department chairmen or their representatives.

He is well known and has a following among party regulars, although he ran second to Muskie (37%, to 15%) in a Gallup poll of Democratic county chairmen.

But his 1968 defeat hurts badly, he is probably a too familiar face, and his nomination might touch off a schismatic fourth-party movement to the left. EDWARD KENNEDY. He has repeatedly forsworn any notion...
...charge, made in the Republican National Committee's peppery publication Monday, has surface validity. The presidential candidacy of South Dakota Senator George McGovern seems to have little steam of its own. Polls indicate that only 5% of the nation's registered Democrats and 6% of Democratic county chairmen prefer him over the other potential Democratic candidates. His camp abounds with "Kennedy men": Advisers Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and John Kenneth Galbraith, Robert Kennedy's Press Secretary Frank Mankiewicz, Writers Richard Goodwin and Adam Walinsky, plus other lesser-known figures. President Kennedy's Press Secretary Pierre Salinger will...
