...fact, there is ample regulatory machinery available-although Washington has been reluctant to use it. For various reasons, including bureaucratic lethargy, the U.S. has ratified only eight of 18 international conventions governing oil spills and the design and operation of tankers and other ships adopted by the London-based Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization. As for regulating foreign-flag vessels in U.S. waters, all the needed authority is included in the 1972 Ports and Waterways Safety Act. It gives the Coast Guard sweeping powers to set safety, equipment and crew-training standards for foreign vessels; the Coast Guard can inspect...
...Ford Administration on Jan. 20 will also mark the close of Nelson Rockefeller's remarkable public career. It spans not only four terms as Governor of New York but also jobs with six Administrations in Washington, starting in 1940 as Frank lin Roosevelt's Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs. In the interview below, the Vice President discusses his career, including his never-achieved Oval Office ambitions, with TIME'S Washington Bureau Chief Hugh Sidey. Some parting thoughts by other Ford Administration figures appear on the next two pages...
...made next year (1978) as well, but then there would be less time to make firm the new system before the assignment of a very large group of sophomores the following spring (1979).

...Inter-Varsity does not keep track of mission-minded students once they graduate from college, but it does ask those at its conventions to consider signing commitment cards. Within six months after the 1973 convention, 1,700 students had filed cards stating, "I believe it is God's will for me to serve abroad," and another 3,600 had pledged to "actively seek" God's guidance on whether to serve overseas. Such decisions are not made lightly. At last week's commitment service, Billy Graham said somberly that today's missionaries, like the New Testament disciples...
...supports investigation of "'theme' Houses, focusing on language, art, or a special area of concentration," providing "an alternative living arrangement for those who might prefer it" (1.4-7). On the other hand, it suggests "no-choice pre-freshman assignment to the Houses" (1.4-9), which, barring tremendous numbers of inter-House transfers, would seem to necessitate "the creation of more uniformity within the Housing system," which the task force also recommends (1.4-8). In support of this last, each new Housing proposal deals with the freshmen as a whole, rather than retaining the current system at the Quad. The report...
