...remains to be seen whether these reforms can be any more effectively enforced than the 1958 tutorial legislation. Bowersock's plan would establish departmental student-faculty committees to review the tutorials and notify administrators when they fail to comply with the requirments. Faculty Council members requested last week that the legislation clearly state that students would serve only on an advisory basis. As a result, Faculty members would serve as their own judges. The reforms will be useless unless the Faculty takes tutorial reform seriously and obeys its requirments...
Some of the criticism leveled at the assembly may stem from a certain lack of focus in assembly activities. The projects undertaken this year ranged from poll-taking--a function many assembly members say helped to establish the assembly's credibility in the eyes of administrators--to social directing.

The assembly has sponsored open meetings with President Bok, Dean Rosovsky, and Selwyn R. Cudjoe, assistant professor of Afro-American Studies...

Quine is an internationally known philosopher whose pioneering works on mathematical logic helped establish the study of logic and language as central to philosophy.

Born in Akron, Ohio, Quine will...
...March 1867, James A. Garfield, then a Congressman from Ohio, introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to create a United States Department of Education--an organ without Cabinet-level status. For the next 110 years and more, proposals to establish such a department have burst upon Congress sporadically. From 1908 to 1951, more than 50 pieces of legislation seeking to establish an education department floated through the Russell, Longworth and Rayburn Congressional office buildings; however, none survived beyond the committee stage. Legislation introduced in the 95th Congress met a similar fate. Meanwhile, education has become an orphan child...
