...Harvard expelled two and suspended 14 of the 24 mainly white students who imprisoned a dean in his University Hall office last November. Still pending is the case against 36 blacks who occupied the same building earlier this month in an unsuccessful attempt to force the university to employ more black construction workers on campus projects. If the undergraduates in this group are ousted, it will cut black enrollment at Harvard and Radcliffe colleges by about one-eighth. Still upset over the school's hiring practices, black students announced that they were boycotting classes...
...Elie Abel has often found himself at the flash points of the world. He covered the Nurnberg trials, the Hungarian Revolution, two presidential campaigns and the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. But last week Abel, 49, received what may well be his toughest assignment: he was appointed dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, the best in the field, but a school divided...
Beginning Feb. 1, Abel will preside over a faculty embittered by more than a year's debate over a successor to Edward Barrett, the former dean. Barrett resigned after the turbulent student disorders of 1968, protesting "authoritarian rule by remote, inaccessible powers" at the university.

But Columbia President Andrew Cordier, prodded by the traditionalists...
...Keep those cards and letters comin', folks," drawled Dean Martin at the end of his NBC variety hour, " 'cause me and Jeannie just love to get 'em." Not any more. Jeanne Biegger Martin, 43, announced that she will sue for divorce, at her husband's request, after 20 years of marriage. Dino, it seems, is in love with another, much younger blonde. While half of Hollywood's Clairol set claimed to be next in line to share his mail, gossipists pointed to buxom Gail Renshaw, Miss World...
...College (Purchase, N.Y.), 18 black students staged a sit-in at the main classroom building for the entire week. They wanted the Catholic women's school, which includes four Kennedys (Ethel, Jean, Eunice and Joan) among its alumnae, to increase its black students and faculty, hire a black dean, provide a black student center and more courses dealing with black experience. The administration response was mild. The sitters-in were told that if the protest ended peacefully, no penalties would be imposed. One college official described the demonstrators' demands as "not unusual" and their conduct as "peaceful, orderly...
