Many other educators-and students-agree. Says Barbara Newell, 46, president of Wellesley: "Women coeds receive conflicting signals on the 'femininity' of intellectual vigor and do not take full advantage of college." Adds Susan Van Dyne, 29, a Smith faculty member: "In a coed school the dominant role for a woman is usually sexual." Evelyn Riedner, 21, a Wellesley senior, praises her school for the chance it gives women to learn leadership without strident aggressiveness. Says she: "Once you learn that in a supportive atmosphere, you develop yourself as a person first...
...promising start is being made in Colorado, where Ecologist George Van Dyne is running a key project under the International Biological Program to discover how a grasslands ecosystem responds to various stresses. Van Dyne and 80 other scientists are trailing every imaginable creature on the Western prairie and gathering data for a computer-modeling scheme that may become a landmark in ecological forecasting...
...talks quite a bit to Faculty members, and Parker Donham, a former CRIMSON editor and longtime Harvard student who has a beard that goes all over his face and down the back of his head. Occasionally, the Globe's education writers turn up-Nina McCain and Larry Van Dyne-but they usually stay in the office and read important papers.

With more calculation than wit, Playwright Dyne drapes sex in bombazine, drops gossip in pear-shaped tones, dredges up his plot from an actual 1885 scandal, and clearly depends on fresh memories of the Profumo affair to titillate his audience and breathe secondhand life into his play...
...scarcely matters how closely Dyne sticks to the historical record, since he remains resolutely distant from life. His stage tactic is to open his characters' mail in public, as it were, but never to disclose their hearts, minds and motives. Acting with urbane finesse, the cast can probe no deeper than its period costumes. The players enunciate all too perfectly some of the woolliest period dialogue of recent seasons. Item: "God, how can I silence this monstrous woman?" Item: "But you betrayed something in me, [soulful pause] deep, deep in me." Double item: Husband-"Have you defiled...
