While the Crimson reports that in 1971, the number of concentrators dropped by 76 per cent and course enrollment dropped 58 per cent (9/10/79), it does not report that Afro Am Studies faced a concerted assault from the black tenured professors at Harvard Martin Kilson and Orlando Patterson, who baited black students and the department with the slander of inferiority.

Says he: "We don't believe people are going to stop camping, but they are going to camp close." Then too, the number of active outdoorsmen is rapidly expanding. Coleman says happily: "Our target audience is great big Middle America." Still a vigorous hunter, fisherman and tennis player, although he has given up climbing mountains, Coleman plans to stay on as chief of the company dedicated to recreation as long as his health...
