...Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and also the Business School, have in recent years conducted summer programs for disadvantaged minority groups of college age to identify students capable of doing advanced work and to encourage them to embark upon graduate and graduate-professional studies. Last summer a parallel Faculty Audit Program brought 25 teachers from predominantly Negro institutions here for summer study and observation. But the heightened interest shown throughout the University last year in attracting more disadvantaged students was sufficiently great to constitute virtually a basic change...
...Parallel efforts made by the various faculties to attract black faculty members to their ranks met with less success, for the supply of qualified black academics is far below the current demand. It appears increasingly probable, therefore, that we shall make our most significant contribution in this area in the years immediately ahead by concentrating on attracting on attracting promising students particularly at the graduate level. If we succeed well here we shall, of course, ultimately increase the supply of black teachers available for both graduate and graduate professional study...
Polyethylene oxide, the material that eased Highburton's passage, is known to chemists as a long-chain polymer because it consists of lengthy strings of linked molecules. In the water near a ship, the molecular chains act much like an array of thin parallel tubes, allowing water to flow smoothly back along the hull but retarding its movement in any other direction. As a result, the friction-building turbulence that is normally generated by a ship slicing through the water is sharply reduced...
...Epstein '69 proposed a reorganization of student government with parallel student committees for all Faculty committees concerned with student affairs. He also asked for student representation of Faculty committees and for a jurisdictional board to channel issues and proposals to the various committees. The board would be composed of the heads of each committee...
Lance E. Lindblom '70, an HUC member, disagreed. The symposium's purpose had been to suggest a redistribution of power in favor of students to handle issues such as ROTC on which the Faculty and students fundamentally disagree, Lindblom said. He suggested parallel committees topped by a student senate elected at large with proportional representation. The senate's decisions should be final unless overruled by a two-thirds Faculty vote, according to Lindblom...
