This is the basic argument of a farewell gift to President Nixon by the Johnson Administration: a 198-page volume called Toward a Social Report, prepared under the direction of Mancur Olson, an economist with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Two years in the making, the study charges that while the U.S. has-in theory, at least-learned how to regulate its economy, it has been ill-prepared to predict riots or determine its social needs and goals. Toward a Social Report contends that systematically marshaling "social indicators" would provide the nation with a working tool...
Many legislators and officials disagree. "We are all at fault-the employee, the employer and ourselves in government," says Esther Peterson, the Johnson Administration's Assistant Secretary of Labor for Standards. "I'm tired of this buck passing. It's time we did something together about all this."

Chris Alvord and John Schneider could provide a challenge in the dash. Steve Wimberly will lead the Crimson contingent in the quarter-mile...
Harvard has suffered from a number of basic problems, especially with Barth Royer and Bobby Johnson, two experienced forwards, out for the season, and with Kanuth hobbled by a series of misfortunes. Penn's guards showed up defensive lapses in Harvard's backcourt men last Saturday and in both games (including Princeton the night before), Harvard made less than 40 per cent of its shots...
