Though the proposal--to establish a new sub-area within the Science area of the Core--will most likely meet with opposition on the student-Faculty Core advisory committee, it is at least an attempt to convey student dissatisfaction with the Core. All the same, the council should submit a thorough report to the committee, putting it in the context of the Core's academic philosophy...
...strongest argument against setting up a new sub-area of the Core is that it would add one more requirement to the hefty burden students must now juggle. Specifically, several faculty members have said that establishing a Science "C" area would lure students away from the "A" area courses. Even if this is true, though, it should make the Faculty infer that "A" area courses apparently do not have what students are looking for. The better approach would be to include the courses in question within the existing Science...
...1970s Dike established the first History Department survey courses on Sub-Saharan Africa, and laid the groundwork for more instruction in that area, Womack said. "Until he came, there was no serious instruction, given in that field," he added...
Soviet nuclear-powered submarines routinely ply the heavily trafficked sea-lanes off the U.S. East Coast, but few ever surface. Thus Navy pilots patrolling the Atlantic in a P-3C Orion antisubmarine aircraft early last Tuesday morning were astonished to sight a Soviet attack sub moving through rolling seas some 470 miles off the coast of South Carolina in the infamous Bermuda Triangle. The 341-ft.-long vessel was clearly having mechanical troubles, but it issued no international distress signal. Instead, the ship and its crew of about 90 men braved the winds and waves, bobbing, in the words...
TIME has learned that the Victor III-class Soviet sub was forced to surface after its screw propellers became entangled in a 2-to 3-in.-thick steel undersea cable that was being used by a U.S. surveillance frigate to track the sub's movements. The mechanical mishap was I only the latest in a series of embarrassing setbacks for the Soviet fleet. In 1981 a diesel powered Soviet sub snooping in a restricted zone off the Swedish coast ran aground and had to be pulled to a safer anchor-age by Swedish tugboats. According to U.S. intelligence, another...
