Indeed, the recent history of results says something more about our effectiveness--based not only on our "representation" on these committees, but also on our ad-hoc attempts at expressing our opinions and making them felt. I need only point to the Engelhard Library, divestiture, Brustein or the Core as a few examples to demonstrate the truth of this...
Laws estimated that computer usage will at least double because of the Core Curriculum proposal that would require all students at Harvard after next fall to have some knowledge of computer programming...
Thirty-eight per cent support the Core Curriculum, while 29 per cent oppose it and 33 per cent did not express an opinion...
...Loss of Fluid test (LOFT). It was held in the Department of Energy's Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. As some 200 scientists and technicians paced anxiously, the countdown began. On signal, two blowdown pipe valves snapped open, simulating a rupture. In a flash, reactor cooling fluid escaped. As the core's temperature soared, the secondary cooling system also failed, again according to plan. Then after only 17 seconds, the third system's coolant began pouring hundreds of gallons of water on the hot core. Its temperature, which had jumped to 516° C (960° F), still far short of zir-caloy...
...typical atomic plant. Said his colleague Robert Pollard: "It's like using a kite to prove a moon rocket will work." But LOFT scientists rejected that argument. Said one: "It isn't necessary to crash 747s against buildings to test their safety." One thing was indisputable: the emergency core cooling system did work. Just to make sure that it does the job under different conditions, the Commission will stage about 20 more LOFT tests through the 1980s...
