...meet annual operating costs, mainly in teachers' salaries, there is a new emphasis at many universities on setting up endowed chairs. At the same time, sophisticated benefactors have found that giving their names to a professorship is more satisfying than simply seeing them carved on the donor's plaque of a new building...
...Convince the Donor. The campus quest for money is so pressing that academic administrators today spend most of their time in hot pursuit of potential donors. As Ford Foundation President McGeorge Bundy notes, "The private university that does not choose an entrepreneur for its president is bound to be sorry." Yale has had little reason to be sorry that it chose Kingman Brewster, whom U.S. Education Commissioner Harold Howe calls "one of the most lively voices in higher education today."

Colorado passed the nation's most advanced abortion bill, and North Carolina last week enacted a measure that is similar to Colorado's in most respects. Also last week, Oklahoma became the first state to legalize artificial insemination by a donor other than the woman's husband and to guarantee legitimacy to the resultant offspring. In Hawaii, where Oahu once had only two-fifths of the state's senators, though it had four-fifths of the population, a reapportioned senate (giving Oahu 19 of 25 seats) helped enact...
