...York Banker David Rockefeller, however, the answer lies not in bigger portions of federal aid but in the creation of an effective partnership between Government and business-with business carrying the major load. "Urban rehabilitation is primarily a task for private enterprise," he told the Senate Subcommittee on Executive Reorganization last week. "Government can lend support and provide incentive-and it is important that these things be done.

M.I.T., tired of the student refrain that "Tech is hell," has similarly loosened its freshman and sophomore course load, broken up its long-standard curriculum. "In the past, if a fellow was too short we stretched him, and if he was too long we shrank him-now we try to mold the system around the class," says Physics Professor George Valley...
