STUDENT and faculty protests for better minority recruitment have spread like wildfire at campuses across the country this spring. Duke University students and faculty were able to change minority recruitment policy to require that each of the university's more than 50 departments hire at least one additional black faculty member by 1993. If the departments fail, they must show why they failed and undergo an outside review of their recruiting procedures...
...decibels for what it lacked in finesse. The ballroom of the thoroughly lived-in Omni Park Central Hotel was too small and too warm for the hundreds crammed together like rush- hour commuters on the A train. But the atmospherics last Tuesday night mattered not at all. Chants of "Duke! Duke! Duke!" alternated with cries of "Let's go, Mike!" And when Michael Dukakis paused before speaking, his usually constricted smile was as broad and welcoming as New York harbor. Campaign workers cheered ecstatically at the Duke's every prosaic line.

The Duke now has roughly 1,070 delegates of the 2,081 needed to nominate. Despite the quirky tendency of Democratic voters to turn against front runners, Dukakis appears assured of capturing at least two-thirds of the 1,000 delegates still to be elected. A majority of the 643 super-delegates -- public and party officials who are nominally unpledged -- are also known to favor Dukakis. These recruits, together with scores...

Ivy League basketball teams are simply outmatched by teams from stronger basketball conferences like the Big East, the Atlantic Coast Conference...
Those factors may be responsible for why the Ivy League does fairly well against schools near the bottom of Division I basketball despite the disadvantages. Not every team is a Duke or an Arizona. In the 1987-88 season, Ivy teams boasted of victories over scholarship schools like New Hampshire, Vermont, Holy Cross, Texas, San Francisco, Rutgers and Seton Hall...
