...great ability to size up the situation. a gift some people are just born with" Cornell coach Jack Musick gloated last week. "He can pick out openings in the line at full speed...
...case of the large and middle-size departments, practices vary markedly. Formal arrangements for consultation with graduate students appear to be fairly widely prevalent. The most typical pattern is a joint graduate student-faculty advisory committee which meets to discuss curricular questions and departmental requirements, but which may also raise other issues of interest to students. In a few departments undergraduates are also members of these committees. Student members are ordinarily elected, either through the departmental graduate student organization or by the departmental graduate student body. In some cases, parallel faculty and graduate student committees have been established, and arrangements...
Because of the wide diversity in the size, the needs, the practices, and preferences of the departments, we do not undertake to recommend a standard form of student-faculty consultative arrangement for all departments. Indeed, in the case of the small departments, where relations between students and faculty are usually close and intimate, no formal machinery may be needed, and we see no point in proliferating committees for the sake of symmetry. We do believe, however, that there is a need for such consultative arrangements in the medium-size and larger departments, and we urge that they be established where...
...stage in its deliberations, the Committee gave serious consideration to the possibility of recommending the creation of an elected Faculty Senate of some 120 members to which the powers of the Faculty might be delegated. Those Committee members who supported the proposal argued that the unwieldy size of the Faculty, its fluctuating patterns of attendance at meetings, and the difficulty of ensuring orderly debate and continuity of action under these conditions pointed to the need for a much smaller body, representative of the Faculty, pledged to regular attendance, and able to function in a much more deliberative manner. Those Committee...
...real observatory with an almost infinite number of observation possibilities." The telescope can view the sun in one of 10,000 different wavelengths of ultra-violet light and can aim at a single point, take a picture of the entire sun, or scan an area only 1/15 the size of the sun's visible disc. Where earlier OSO satellites were able to take only one picture of the entire surface every 5 minutes, this telescope can also map a small region every 30 seconds. This allows the astronomers to follow very fast solar reactions in greater detail...
