While the Crimson reports that in 1971, the number of concentrators dropped by 76 per cent and course enrollment dropped 58 per cent (9/10/79), it does not report that Afro Am Studies faced a concerted assault from the black tenured professors at Harvard Martin Kilson and Orlando Patterson, who baited black students and the department with the slander of inferiority. This attack has been taken up by senior tutors, proctors in the Yard, freshman/women advisors out of ignorance and prejudice. On the basis of his past statements regarding Afro-Am Studies, I submit that Prof. Patterson disqualifies himself from...
...Crimson inaccurately reports that the demand for an Afro Studies department came after the strike of '69. It became a strike demand because Rosovsky changed the report of his committee from recommending a department to recommending an interdisciplinary combined concentration without informing the students who worked on the committee writing the original version of the report. There was considerable pressure for a department leading up to that demand for some time. The challenge of an uncombined department is to present the perspective of two-thirds of the world's population, a perspective which other departments at Harvard have shown...

A movie based on The '80s is in the works, they report, and Cerf and Hendra have lined up financing for a new satirical magazine. Even so, life has become a bit anticlimactic. Says Hendra: "There seems to be nothing to talk about in 1979 since we've already lived through the next ten years...
...commission's chief asset is information, particularly about organized crime. In the late '60s, it published a Hood's Who, a directory of Mob leaders and their business fronts, complete with home addresses. Now it profiles a crime figure in each issue of its quarterly report, Searchlight...
...Energy Project earlier this month released its report on America's energy options: a collection of eight persuasive, crisply-written essays entitled Energy Future. The project, which has been studying energy problems since 1972, says it is impossible to wriggle out of OPEC's grip in the short term by depending on conventional domestic energy sources--oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear. The Harvard group is not the first to say we must look elsewhere. Put what is unique about this conclusion--other than the respect the group commands in government and business circles--is the Project's pragmatic, multidisciplinary...
