...BRUNSWICK, N.J.-A Rutgers University student panel has absolved the Chi Psi fraternity of responsibility for the critical injury of a 22-year-old student who jumped 28 feet onto a concrete ramp, apparently while drunk at a football game...
More support for Glashow's work came in 1974 with the discovery of the J or psi particle at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The particle was eventually interpreted as a combination of a charmed quark (c) and a charmed anti-quark (c*). But final confirmation came in May 1976, when the Stanford team, led by Gerson Goldhaber, found incontrovertible evidence that charmed particles exist...
...trip for a junior Marquis de Sade. Hazing is clearly much less prevalent than it was during the college days of the current undergraduates' parents. One reason: whether it is outlawed or not, most students will not accept it. Says Senior Steve Taylor, president of the Zeta Psi house at the University of California at Berkeley (a position his father held 25 years ago after being branded on the arm as a pledge): "All that stuff, tubbing, paddling, branding is looked down upon today." Gary Ausman, assistant director of student services at the University of Washington, agrees: "The decline...
Charmed Particle. The bit of matter, called the J particle by Ting and the psi particle by Richter, gave solid experimental support to the evolving theory that the basic building blocks of matter are a family of particles called quarks. It provided strong evidence for the existence of the fourth quark, one that has the property that scientists whimsically call "charm." Since the simultaneous findings by Richter and Ting, at least seven more members of the J, or psi, particle family have been discovered, further strengthening the quark theory...
Fraternity life provides psychological benefits as well. Louis Menyhert, president of Psi Upsilon at New York University, points out that "N.Y.U. these days is an antiseptic place where people come for classes and go home." At a small, closely-knit fraternity house, he believes, there is a better opportunity to build friendships...
