Love and sex and all that. Zick Rubin, associate professor of Psychology, is an authority on "couples research." Edward L. Pattullo, director of the Center for the Behavioral Sciences and chairman of the CUHS, says that such research is one of the most ethically difficult fields of inquiry--last spring the Committee discouraged a graduate student from conducting a study in the area because, according to Committee member David Gartrell, the student lacked "the requisite counseling skills." But the CUHS has not hindered Rubin's research-- although according to Gartrell, Rubin himself found his work was "very intrusive...
Through questionnaires, interviews and laboratory experiments, Rubin studies the relationships between men and women in student dating. "This tends to be a problem, first, in terms of recruiting," Pattullo says. "Each member of the couple should feel equally free to say no." But one member may ask the other, why don't you participate? What are you unwilling to share...
...supporting cast was generally high. Portia made effective transitions from sharptongued young woman to romantic lover to merciful judge, though her voice sometimes took on too keen an edge to act as a genuine agent of reconciliation. Antonio (Peter Henderson) was properly grave and honorable; Bassanio (Jeffrey Rubin) was in higher spirits but equally good.

Courtly Scholar. The son of a New York City businessman, Trilling earned both undergraduate and doctorate degrees in literature at Columbia. He joined the Columbia faculty in 1931 as an instructor of English. Two years earlier he had married Diana Rubin, also a distinguished critic, and they had one son James. As he worked toward a full professorship (in 1948 he became the first Jew to receive tenure in the English department) Trilling slowly gained the reputation of someone more than a courtly scholar. His doctoral dissertation on Matthew Arnold was published in 1939-in the heyday of the textual...
...last month Robert Rubin, a transplanted New Yorker living in Newport, Ore., signed over the four houses and ten-acre farm he owned to a friend and then went away. His neighbor Sue Greenberg put her name to a notarized document assigning her two children to a friend's care, and then she went away too. In Eugene, Surveyor Gerald Anderson quit his job and disappeared, as did Dan Staggs, a nurseryman from nearby Springfield. In all, somewhere between 21 and 26 Oregonians simply up and left everything they had after attending a recruiting meeting of a baffling...
