...Stanford chapter, which was suspended last year after announcing that it intended to pledge a Negro. The trustees of Brown University ordered the Brown Sigma Chi chapter to disaffiliate on grounds that the national organization was discriminatory. Sigma Chi has filed a federal suit to force the University of Colorado to end the probation of its Boulder chapter. Officials of eight Eastern colleges recently met privately in Syracuse, N.Y., to agree on how to handle their Sigma Chi chapters...
Precious Commodity. Though local bar associations often take an initially dim view of such efforts, the idea that law students should emulate medical students' intern training has now been accepted in varying degrees in Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York and Wyoming. In Massachusetts, the state's highest court has authorized law students to appear in lower courts and to defend indigents in cases involving less than 2½ years' imprisonment. At Boston University, law students now get classroom credit for courtroom practice in Roxbury, a predominantly Negro slum where 70% of defendants...

When water was pumped deep into the Pre-Cambrian rock around the bottom of the well, he said, it lubricated the surfaces of vertical fractures, allowing the rock faces to slide against each other, causing recurring tremors. The theory sounded good enough for Colorado Congressman Roy McVicker, who called for a full-scale scientific investigation. Beginning in December, the U.S. Geological Survey and four Colorado colleges and universities set up seismographs on the arsenal grounds; they recorded quakes while Army technicians systematically reduced both the volume and pressure of waste water entering the well, finally...
...pumped down the well. Furthermore, the study established that the epicenters of the quakes were located within only a mile of the well and the quake centers themselves were at 12,000 ft.-close to the bottom of the suspect well, where an earth fault was also found. The Colorado earthquakes and the Army's disposal of waste water, said the Geological Survey, "probably are related...
Large Dreams. To establish that conclusion beyond a doubt, the Army is allocating $150,000 for a further geological study. The Colorado School of Mines last week received a $98,000 federal grant, and will shortly get another $122,000 from the Colorado legislature for its own investigation of the phenomenon...
