University presidents, outspoken professors, even rebellious students-all have a knack for getting noticed. Yet, except in rare moments of acute controversy, the men and women who are technically at the top of the nation's huge state-university systems are the least known figures in academe's power structure. And the least rewarded. The state-university regents read reams of reports, worry endlessly over their university's business, scurry to meetings and ceremonies. In return they get only free campus parking, a few choice football tickets, and perhaps their names, in fine print, on a building...
...advice of the university president. "If you have a president you believe in, you go along with him," says University of Illinois Trustee Harold Pogue. State University of New York Trustee Morris Iushewitz, acknowledging the strong hand of S.U.N.Y. President Samuel Gould, insists that "We are not manipulated except for the good of the university, and in that sense I don't mind being manipulated."

The Seattle school board, saddled with its dirt-covered Memorial Stadium in which half the games have been played in mud, has voted to spend $175,000 to cover it with artificial turf...

It does indeed increase body production of Vitamin D, which helps control TB, but it has no other beneficial effects except occasional help for a case of acne or psoriasis...
With a sigh, Manager Bauer took Barber out and waved in Reliever Stu Miller. The next Detroit batter rapped Miller's first pitch up the middle for an easy third out-except that Second Baseman Mark Belanger dropped the force throw as another Detroit run crossed the plate. Final score: Tigers 2, Orioles 1; thus putting Barber and Miller into the records as the first two pitchers in baseball history to combine on a no-hitter in nine innings and still lose the game. Said Barber wistfully: "Well, if I ever do get another one, I'd like...
