...obtaining an equal ratio is to cut down the present male enrollment by 1800, adding that number of women. Many of the men conditioned to look upon Harvard as a male institution hotly protest this alternative. Pusey has said that Harvard has "an obligation to the nation" to train men for their careers. Last February, when a delegation from the National Organization for Women (NOW) met with him to ask for an increased female enrollment, he reportedly said. "But to do that, we would have to cut down on the number of qualified people we admit." "Qualified men, you mean...
When Harvard's President Lowell found out about Eliot's decision, he called the young man into his office. Lowell said that eager Eliot was doing the wrong thing. The President was especially angry because he had just arranged for French officers to train the voluntary Harvard regiment. But young Eliot explained that ambulance duty was the only way an 18-year-old could get a commission. Lowell said he could understand and wished his student well...
...combined Government-business drive to hire hard-core unemployed-particularly blacks-is becoming a casualty of the economic slump. The so-called JOBS program (for Job Opportunities in the Business Sector), which was organized by the Department of Labor and by the National Alliance of Businessmen, provides federal training grants averaging $2,400 per man to companies that agree to employ and train the unskilled.

...also report successes. But Chrysler Corp., on the other hand, has canceled one of its several JOBS contracts calling for 4,450 production employees; and Chrysler's Chairman Lynn Townsend is the N.A.B. chief for the whole country. The company retained other contracts and has signed one to train 1,000 auto mechanics at its dealerships. Of Zenith Radio Corp.'s trainees, 28% have dropped out since the program started last July, and another 61% have been laid off. "Should there be a further downturn in the economy," said Leonard F. Luce, Zenith's director of Equal...
Dead Ends? A few companies have used Government training grants to subsidize their wage costs and have skimped on teaching. Others have used the program to recruit and hold unskilled labor in dead-end jobs. A California company, for example, contracted to give 322 hours of on-the-job training at a cost to the Government of $4,173 per man, but most of the jobs were so simple that it took only from two hours to two days to learn the routine. A Detroit manufacturer agreed to train machinists, but turned some of them into general laborers...
