...student committee's petition also noted that the Afro-American Studies Department depends completely on the Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (in effect, Rosovsky) for funding.

Bowersock '57, associate dean of the Faculty on undergraduate education, joins a long history of changes all directed at the same goal: increased Faculty involvement in tutorials.

A spread-out network of settlement, work, distribution and consumption which has become absolutely dependent on the automobile for its existence." Burnham will have none of the "pundits...
