Investigators, for example, are trying to determine just what effect the years of jolting landings and high-stress takeoffs have had on the key metal parts that hold the engine and pylon to the wing. They are even studying the possibility of "acoustical fatigue," the damage to metal that can be caused by oscillations of sound frequencies generated by the DC-10's engine and its associated metal structures.

Harvard, primarily because of President Bok's opinions, has officially opposed the formation of the department. While the legislation is not the top priority of the Office of Government and Community Affairs--the University is more concerned with patent legislation and research allocations in the fiscal 1980 budget, as Cottington explains--Harvard has joined a group of about 60 universities criticizing the legislation...
