Jean Agnew, a graduate student in History and a member of this year's panel said that he was surprised at the number of first-and second-year students at the meeting. He said he felt that the comparatively large turnout indicated a general dissatisfaction with both the way students are treated within the department and with the existing mechanisms for student input...
...grand jury acknowledged that there are schools in San Francisco "where learning is going on and where there is an obvious feeling of pride and accomplishment." One institution that seems to work is Opportunity II, an alternative school for 170 high school students, some of whom were reading at first-and second-grade levels when they entered. The teachers make special efforts to compensate for parental indifference (which Principal Hal Abercrombie attributes largely to the problem of poverty) and often find themselves acting as surrogate parents.

...improvement over the old system. The plan ends the unstable arrangement under which graduate students would rush about at the beginning of each term to secure a teaching fellowship and thereby stave off financial disaster. The plan calculates need according to a specified formula, and promises to fund all first-and second-year graduate students to within $1000 of the calculated need. (The $1000 gap Union meetings dwindled to 20 to grants awarded in the old way by departments.) The Kraus plan will require an increase of $235,000 in the Faculty budget for GSAS scholarships...
