Committees, and sub-committees of committees, have been everywhere, taking up an incredible complex of issues. The most prominent has been the Faculty's Special Committee on Recruitment and Retention of Faculty, which turned in a 119-page report last month--replete with 15 tables of research data--that recommended, among other things, the abolition of the instructor's position at Harvard and increased pay scales for junior faculty...
...committee on the condition of Harvard's existing athletic facilities, c) a committee on the future of the Harvard House system, d) a committee on creating a program of Afro-American studies at Harvard, e) a committee on the uses of computers in Harvard instruction, and f) a sub-committee of the established Committee on Houses which took up the impact the opening of a 10th Harvard House in 1969 will have on the existing Houses and on off-campus living at Harvard...
Hendrix, who by ironic coincidence published an article in the current issue of U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings titled "The Depths of Ignorance," dealing with the hypothetical stranding of a nuclear sub on a seamount in mid-Pacific, argues that the Navy not only has insufficient bathymetric data on bottoms in all oceans but lacks adequate communication and rescue devices for subs in distress as well. Scorpion, like more than 70 of her sisters in the U.S. nuclear-sub fleet, carried only two buoys mounted on cables fore and aft to mark her position in the event of disaster, plus...
Beyond Reach. Even if these scanty signals are picked up somewhere along a sub's disaster course (Scorpion's: 2,500 miles long by 50 miles wide), the device the Navy relies upon to rescue deep-sixed submariners is ancient and inadequate: the McCann rescue chamber, an "undersea elevator" that can remove only eight men at a time from subs in 850 ft. of water or less. Devised in the 1920s, it was last used in an actual undersea rescue when Squalus went down off Portsmouth, N.H., in 1939.* Development of a "Deep-Submergence Rescue Vehicle," begun...
Though a radio message using Scorpion's call sign, "Brandywine," and the discovery of a 250-ft.-long steel hulk in 180 ft. of water off Cape Henry, Va., raised hopes that the missing sub might be found, by week's end she was still silent. The radio signal, Navymen bitterly concluded, had probably been a hoax; the hulk proved to be that of a World War II sub...
