...down the line David Kravitz, faculty adviser to the Penn State team, outlines the virtues of a modified 1975 Honda CVCC that students have converted into a diesel. The rival University of Pennsylvania crew has taken a Rabbit diesel, added a turbocharger to burn fuel more efficiently and stuck it in an elongated Honda chassis designed to seat six passengers. Says a team member: "We call it aDachshonda." The University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, team has put a two-cylinder, 25-h.p. Onan industrial engine (usually used to power an electric generator) into a British Austin Mini, added an electronic microprocessor...
When the tests end, the overall winner is a dark horse: a turbocharged, fuel-injected, gasoline-burning entry from the University of Manitoba. It is not the most fuel-efficient entry, however. That title goes to the car from Mankato State University in Minnesota, which burned propane gas at a rate of 11.41 miles...

A year ago, the indicator was 34% and in March 1977, shortly after Carter took office, it stood...

A liberal concerned with the humanitarian side of foreign policy, he left the department when Henry Kissinger became Secretary, and joined the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace...

The voluntary Georgia program has not been particularly successful. Many high school principals, black and white, simply ignored it. Local branches of the Michigan N.A.A.C.P. plan to call on school superintendents to get them moving, and Jefferson will meet with Detroit high school principals to urge each of them to deputize a registrar to keep track of the students as they reach voting age. Madison envisions a voter registration rock...
