Maurice D. Kilbridge, dean of the Graduate School of Design (GSD), will resign his post on June 30, 1980, President Bok announced Friday...
...first fruits of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty were harvested last week. In a brisk but colorful ceremony at the parking lot of a former post exchange, Israeli officers formally returned the town of El Arish, the capital of the Sinai, to Egyptian sovereignty. Honor guards of both armies stood stiffly at attention as the blue-and-white Israeli flag was lowered and then replaced by the red, white and black Egyptian tricolor.

It was a dazzling performance by the big gray son of Bold Bidder, the heaviest favorite for the Preakness since Man o' War went to the post in 1920. Carried wide by the field through the clubhouse turn, Spectacular Bid exploded on the backstretch, striding effortlessly past the early leaders to take command of the race. Though Jockey Ronnie Franklin eased him to the wire, Spectacular Bid finished the 1 3/16-mile Preakness circuit just...
