...foremost library of its kind in the U.S.--indirectly affect undergraduates by educating those who teach at Harvard, undergraduates say they derive little warmth from that fire. The real question, they say, is whether Radcliffe, having virtually achieved its goal of opening a Harvard education to women, should now fold itself into the Harvard Corporation, Pembroke-Brown style, or at least disassociate itself and its programs from Harvard...
Radcliffe's desire to regain financial control was a major reason it insisted on the 1977 agreement. Lyman explains, "When you fold your corporation into another corporation, it's over--you eliminate any power you have. And Harvard had other uses for our money." Harvard may not, for example, feel the same urgency about maintaining Radcliffe's Bunting Institute or its Data Resource center, both of which provide opportunities for women's studies research...
...Crimson lost their first game to West Chester State, 11-7, but performed well against the home team. Down 7-2 at the half, the Crimson attack refused to fold. Third home Sarah Mleczko plowed through the opposition for three straight one-on-one tallies before West Chester tightened their defense for good...
Even opponents concede that Thom's mathematics is impeccable; the trouble begins only when he applies the theory to phenomena outside the realm of pure mathematics. It turns out that most of the elementary structures are not quite so elementary: although the simplest of these, the "fold" catastrophe, may be depicted by a parabola, the complex "parabolic umbilic" model cannot be represented in fewer than six dimensions. In addition, some of the structures have such a narrow range of stable states that they are practically useless as real-life models...
...produce only a continuous change in behavior, represented by a gradual rise or fall along the vertical axis. An increase in factor 2 from (c) to (d), however, results in a sudden drop to (a) on the surface below, once the point crossed the edge of the fold at (d). This dramatic plunge is a catastrophe and signifies a discontinuous "jump" in behavior from one stable state to another through an unstable intermediary state, A slight decrease in factor 2 from (e) yields an abrupt ascent to (c) in the same manner...
