...Focusing Cornell University's giant radio telescope near Arecibo, Puerto Rico, on the one pulsar whose position was given by the British, Astronomer Frank Drake confirmed the rapid, regular signal and discovered that it was ten times as powerful at 111 MH (for megahertz: 1,000,000 cycles per second) than at any other frequency. "This has been the biggest bombshell that I can remember in radio astronomy," he says. Caltech Astronomer Maarten Schmidt, who discovered the strange nature of quasars, calls the finding "fantastic, incredible...

...enrollment of 133 students. Four-year NROTC students must take three-and-one-half full courses from the Department of Naval Science to earn a commission with the Navy or the Marine Corps. Since all of these courses carry full credit, it is possible to earn more than twenty per cent of the credits required for a Harvard degree in NROTC--this is the highest percentage of any ROTC unit in the Boston area. Harvard's NROTC students, however, only count about one half of these courses toward graduation, and carry the remainder as fifth courses...

The four Army courses (all half-courses running throughout the year) are probably the least demanding of the ROTC offerings at Harvard, and about 90 per cent of them are carried as fifth courses. The unit uses the modified ROTC curriculum, which has reduced the proportion of purely military subjects by about one-third. Army ROTC cadets, however, can still earn thirteen per cent of the credits for their degrees in the Army courses, as compared...
