Married. G. McMurtrie Godley, 48, U.S. Ambassador to the Congo, a longtime (25-year) career diplomat who served in the Congo for more than three years through the country's bloody birth pangs; and Mrs. Elizabeth McCray Johnson, 34, his private secretary; both for the second time; in Leopoldville...
...question goes, is it art? James A. McCray, chairman of the art department at the University of Cal ifornia in Berkeley, describes derelict sculpture as "unusual - but legitimate in every sense of the word."

At that point, the Board of Visitors decided to investigate. The board found that, as far back as 1949, the athletic department had been falsifying the high-school transcripts of promising athletes to make sure they would get into the college. And last spring, Dean Nelson Marshall had found that the department had been giving unearned credits in physical education. But it was not until July, just before the two coaches resigned, that...
