Susan Coffin, a third-year student at the school, fits Swain's description. She says that attending a non-Catholic school "puts your own tradition in context. Since I've been at Harvard, I've become very aware that I'm very Catholic. When you grow up in a tradition, you're so submerged in doctrine you often can't articulate...
Room for improvement in relations among students of different religions still exists at the Div School, however, according to Swain. "There are not many courses in which people are encouraged to talk about what it's like to grow up Catholic or Protestant," Swain says. He adds, "You don't talk about your religious experiences. In class, you deal with issues on broad, general terms. There's been an improvement but there's still a lot of ignorance... It's not complete progress; it's a step. But it's way ahead of what's happened in most parishes...
...maintaining a diverse student body at an elite university become more and more severe. If middle-income students are priced out of Harvard, a diminishing minority of the wealthy will have to bear the cost of the diversity which is based on financial aid, and they may quickly grow tired of that burden. Ultimately it seems that if Harvard cannot find a way of stabilizing tuition, it may revert to the ultra-elitism which characterized it 50 years ago. Although it seems inevitable, the pattern of annual increases must not be accepted with resignation...
...fact, the ravenous and growing appetite of U.S. companies for data-processing machines and control devices accounted for a major portion of last year's $41 billion computer business. Only 15 years ago, IBM was for all practical purposes the computer industry. But the explosive rise in demand has surpassed even IBM's ability to gobble up new orders. Though the company continues to grow at a healthy rate (its 1977 profits of $2.7 billion on sales of $18.1 billion were up more than 13% over the year before), the nation's other manufacturers of large computers...
...integrated circuit, the predecessor of the chip. Also included are a host of brash upstarts that did not even exist ten years ago (see box). Last year's chip sales of $235 million, while still modest compared with the revenues of the entire computer industry, are expected to grow by a startling 50% annually and exceed $800 million by as early as 1981. Behind this remarkable rise are the incredible economies of scale involved in the manufacture of the chips; once the complex and costly task of designing them and preparing them for production has been completed, the price...
