...Mondale was known as "Crazy Legs" for his exploits on the football field and celebrated for his rich rendition of Ol' Man River at the Elmore theater. He was an intense young man, if an indifferent student, who had formed something called the Republicrat Party while still in junior high...
...world record mark of 56.30 sec. For Matthes, a skinny (155 lbs.) six-footer, Montreal represents a last chance to add to his stockpile of seven Olympic medals, four of them gold, collected in 1968 and 1972. His challenger is John Naber, five years Matthes'junior, half a foot taller, 40 lbs. heavier and a record smasher himself. At last month's U.S. swim trials at Long Beach, Naber, a senior at U.S.C., toppled by 1.23 sec. the 200-meter backstroke world record of 2:01.87, held since 1973 by-that's right-Roland Matthes...
...alternatives to the present system which would allow these concentrations to keep their limited enrollment but would have them admit students at a later point," Martin says.

The second alternative would open enrollment to all, using severe requirements to encourage a Darwinian type of natural selection. As Martin admits, there are valid arguments in favor of both proposals--and in favor of no changes--and the Faculty, which in this case must make the final decision...

The Faculty's recent improvements in minority hiring are small--only 4 per cent of junior faculty appointments were of minority group members last year. The matter of emphasis is different, and results in tension between Walter J. Leonard, the University's affirmative action coordinator, and Phyllis Keller, assistant dean of the Faculty for academic planning...
...Bill freshman year. He was a local boy, born and raised in the Boston area, and an outstanding pre-medical student. I did not see much of him during my sophomore year (his junior year). In fact, when I found him sitting in the middle of the hallway on the fourth floor of Barnard Hall at 6:30 a.m. one morning during my junior year, it was the first time I had seen him in at least eight months...
