...might decide that making exactly the same score is not important for all races and religions and come up with an Ethnic Success Quotient for tests based on validation studies of all the hyphenated groups we are going to study. Under such a system a Richmond-born-Episcopalian of English stock from a family with an income of $12,000 would be declared below average if his Binet score was below 120. A score of 100 would relegate him to success quotient oblivion as a low normal...
Though these championships have been held for 29 years, only in the last eight years has a team trophy been awarded. Harvard's last great team, the undefeated 1962 squad, finished third, but the Crimson has not come in higher than sixth since then. "Since they've been scoring on a team basis, we have been degenerating," Merritt said last night...
...next year's department offerings. Certainly, this is not surprising. The chairman, Roger Brown, has wanted to rid himself of the two courses--"Social Change in America" and "Radical Perspectives on Social Change"--ever since early in the fall.

His new reason--that somehow the courses "belong" under the sponsorship of General Education--is probably the weakest...
Although Brown has come up with some new arguments recently (and we will deal with these), he originally told the Soc Rel 149 steering committee that the course belongs in Gen Ed because of its "general" content. Gen Ed, however, does not offer only courses of general content. It offers some highly specific courses for nonconcentrators, to fulfill distribution requirements. Soc Sci 100 (International Politics and Foreign Policy in Postwar Western Europe) could just as easily be in the Government Department, Soc Sci 11 (History of East Asian Civilization) could be in History, Nat Sci 9 (the Astronomical Perspective) could...
...goes on, "far better ways to serve our goals and purposes than we now have." Forgiving for a moment the lousy writing which cripples the book from the start and forgiving the overall narowness of LBJ's mind, I think he may be groping toward the realization that has come to so many of us in the past few years: that the whole way of life in this country is fast becoming absurd and that until we face that fact we will be beating around the bush. It's only too bad--to the tune of a lot of lives...
