...however, comply with CHUL's recommendations on the subject. But given the Class of 1980's 1.9-to-1 ratio, the establishment of four 1.5 to 1 Houses represents no great achievement. Using the lower University-wide ratio that equal access will bring, Rosovsky could have taken the further step of establishing 1-to-1 Quad Houses without doing serious harm to the sex balances at the River Houses...
...John Clark, assistant professor of Clinical Psychology at Harvard Medical School and a well-known authority on the psychological aspects of religious conversion, said last week that the power of the Unification Church's conversion process is "so very, very great...it is frightening."

...candidates--one idea he put forth in an interview was to dig up the White House rose garden and replace it with basic vegetables, plants he thought would better befit his less-than-imperial presidency. His economic ideas seemed just as obviously designed for that air of out-of-step impossibility mixed with seriousness that catches the camera's eye. Instead of calling for massive public works projects like Fred Harris and the other leftist candidates, McCarthy sounded almost Repulbican when he said we should forego government intervention and simply share more evenly the existing jobs--perhaps by shortening...
