...Chicano population on Ivy League campuses faces a dilemma in trying to recruit students from the Southwest to the East Coast where there is no Chicano community and where the Chicano population at most Ivies is very small. Chicano students coming to places like Harvard do so knowing they face cultural isolation. So the dilemma, from the perspective of student recruiters and others working towards increasing Harvard's minority population, centers on the competing and frequently circular goals of attracting students by building Harvard up, while chastising the University with the hope of improving support services...
THERE'S AN INHERENT CONTRADICTION: How can one ethically recruit students to Harvard knowing that the College does not support--financially or philosophically--a counseling network aimed at Chicano students?

If minority students are struggling at a rate different from their majority counterparts, how do student recruiters argue...
Mubarak's fondest hope is that other Arab countries will follow Hussein's lead in forgiving Egypt.

...newest recruit at the Securities and Exchange Commission is not a Harvard Business School graduate but a computer named EDGAR (for electronic-data gathering, analysis and retrieval). The device promises to become the most useful investment aid since the stock market ticker made its debut in 1867. When fully operational in 1986, EDGAR will allow investors using personal computers and a telephone to get instant access to the 5 million pages of corporate financial information filed annually with the SEC. By interrogating EDGAR, investors will be able to identify companies with poor earnings performance or pinpoint firms whose stock...
...Washington next month, several high-technology companies will attempt to recruit students, using, appropriately enough, high-tech methods. Business People Inc. of Minneapolis will set up large-screen TVs at 30 of the top schools for technical education, including Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Stanford and the University of California, Berkeley. Then, in a Washington studio, recruiters from such companies and Government agencies as Sperry, Tektronix, Combustion Engineering, the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Security Agency will make their pitches via satellite to the assembled seniors. The students, perhaps 4,000 to 7,000 of them, will be able...
