...moderate name that seems bandied about is Chen Hsi-lin, commander of the Peking military region. Hua Kuo-feng has managed to elude being tied into either parcel so far, and the press seems to have settled for a draw, granting him the position of issue straddler and compromiser: Fox Butterfield of The New York Times suggests Hua can be counted "a good representative of a second generation of Chinese leader, a post-Maoist...
...none of Fox's plans for 4 University Hall have really jelled yet, and no one in the administration is willing to hazard a judgment on how they will work out. Most observers agree that the dean's office is likely to play a very different role in the College over the next year, but Fox himself remains somewhat enigmatic. House masters who met with him over the summer to begin discussing housing policy and possible improvements in the College came away with positive impressions, as indicated by adjectives such as, "open-minded," "decisive," and "courageous," but all recognize that...
...line with his philosophy of turning his office into a clearing house, Fox has already appointed an assistant dean, Ann B. Spence, to oversee budgets and to act as a liaison between separate College areas.

So although he hopes to improve the lines of communication between undergraduates and UHall, Fox will rely on others in his office to help students with personal problems. He says he doesn't know who that counselor...
...they don't get stale adds a sense of impermanency to any stage of University Hall's organization--Arthurs, for example, now holds her third title in four years, and even now she is only an acting dean. Francis M. Pipkin, associate dean of the Faculty for the Colleges--Fox's counterpart in the academic sphere--leaves UHall for the Physics Department in June, and Rosovsky says he plans to spend a fair amount of time this fall seeking a replacement for Pipkin and for Peter S. McKinney, now acting dean of the graduate school. With that kind of presence...
