...York Yankees, they were flush with World Series victory but scarcely aglow with brotherly love. Catcher-Captain Thurman Munson, the man who hated Reggie Jackson's top-catting, wanted to be traded to Cleveland, a move that only an Akron, Ohio, native could cherish. Starting Pitcher Ed Figueroa, snubbed in the Series rotation, emptied his locker and departed before the champagne was uncorked. Amidst the celebration, Owner George Steinbrenner barely managed to conceal the pink slip he had prepared for Manager Billy Martin. Series Pitching Hero Mike Torrez promptly became the first free agent to leave New York, departing...
...Dean Rosovsky appointed last year have created a plan that would adversely, if indirectly, affect America's higher education system. In considering this important step, both faculty and students should bear in mind the considerable weight Harvard carries in social and academic circles, and tread carefully.

Indeed, most members of the Harvard community were prepared to accept the verdict of the Faculty subcommittees. In light of the unexpectedly stringent requirements, however, many must now reconsider whether or not the Faculty is going...

...ISSUE that needs clarification is the question of how many core courses the University will offer, and the corollary of this question--will the core courses invariably be large, impersonal lecture courses? So far, no one involved with the overhauling of Gen Ed will volunteer a specific response. Members of the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) said last week that during a closed meeting with the designers of the new core curriculum they inferred that about 30 core courses, each with an enrollment of approximately 200 students, would be created--a contention several authors of the core's report immediately...
