John L. Nichols '79 said yesterday he felt bad enough early Monday morning to go to UHS emergency clinic in Holyoke Center. He said he was told to go home and stay in bed, and not to take his Math la, "Introduction to the Calculus," exam yesterday morning if he still felt...
...Harvard-that is, the examination and solution of specific problems like that of Publisher Ginn-several of the schools favor other systems. Chicago is known as a "theory" school where students learn general concepts, then apply them to specific cases. Carnegie-Mellon and M.I.T. are strong in statistics and math; their students could "crunch the numbers." Wharton is reputed to produce hard-nosed decision makers-bottom-line types. Cornell, which uses a combination of the case-study and theory methods, was clearly the underdog. Said Team Member Dick Tushingham: "If we are simply perceived as having achieved parity with...
During the first year of the project, Harvard worked with Roxbury to develop "clustering," a system in which six teachers worked together as a group and taught core courses to all ninth graders. "We had something going," Nancy Banton, a math teacher said. Math teacher Chuck Williams said the cluster had close contact with Harvard and the cluster's structure facilitated field trips and utilization of resources in general. Over the summer, the city transferred 13 teachers, including two of the six cluster teachers, to other schools. This year the cluster did not start up again, and the remaining teachers...
...knows for sure, but then not very much about any aspect of Abu Daoud's murky life is certain. He was indeed born near Jerusalem, and his family still lives in Siluan. After high school, he taught math and physics in Jordan and joined the outlawed Communist Party. He later taught in Saudi Arabia, studied law and worked for the Kuwaiti Ministry of Justice. In 1965 he joined the fledgling Fatah, taking the code name Abu Daoud (which means father of David, his oldest son), and became a protege of Abu lyad, Fatah's second-ranking leader after...
...mathematically brilliant but misguided sloth spent the junior year at Harvard in a continual stupor, under the influence of illegal substances and domestic beers. Ostensibly an Applied Math concentrator (though he never studied math nor concentrated), the sloth passed each day expounding on his life philosophy to curious passersby or the walls, as he watched his favorite T.V. game shows. So frazzled was his mind in fact, that he wrote the course numbers backwards on his study card, thus unwittingly enrolling in Adolescent Psychology and U.S. Fiscal Policy instead of his intended courses in advanced physics. But because...
