...Kerby-Miller, Dean of Instruction, has said that the administrations might as well recognize that "the groups have to work together," and that "women should have a chance to hold office on an equal basis with men." She indicated that "certainly most of the administrators would be in favor...
...resigned to a $1.3 billion "bookkeeping" cut, e.g., in capital reserves available to the Defense Department. But he insisted that the remaining $1.2 billion reduction proposed by the House Appropriations Committee would cut into the muscle of U.S. military power.
