...freshman will sign up for or buy anything. For protection the freshman is provided with a surfeit of advisers and information sources. But how does he choose between proctor, senior adviser, academic adviser, Bureau of Study Counsel, Room 13, freshman dean, OCS-OCL, UHS shrinks, roommates and friends? The Confi Guide and Committee on Undergraduate Education guide tell him what to take and where to go. And yet he'll still have to learn by experience that 10 a.m. classes start at 10:10, that all 42 books at the Coop labelled "required" simply aren't, and that paper deadlines...

There is no doubt that she is "intelligent." Her manuscript was well received by both the Government Department and by Rosovsky's ad hoc committee. Any doubt as to its authenticity was dispelled last May by Mansfield himself when he announced that four scholars close to Kearns had corroborated that the manuscript was completely her work product. The same manuscript which...
...charismatic, admired, intelligent, interesting, a great teacher, and in all aspects an asset to the university. It is absurd that she might not be given tenure because of a legal dispute with a publishing company of because of vague misgivings that she is not "serious" enough. The 1974-75 Confi-guide bemoaned the fact that Doris Kearns might someday voluntarily leave the university...
