...Underwritten in part with a $40,000 grant from Atari, "Video Games and Human Development: A Research Agenda for the '80s" represented one of the first attempts to organize the nascent and often flimsy research done on the subject so far. Typical of the early studies are interviews with nearly 1,000 young people in Los Angeles video arcades, undertaken by David Brooks, an instructor at the University of Southern California. Brooks told the Harvard meeting that most of the youngsters were average or above average students and that they rarely played hooky from school...
...Reagan!" somebody yelled outside. "Why a royal party on a movie set?" Said she, smiling: "Why not?" Especially when the place was lent by Fox Owner Marvin Davis, a Reagan contributor, and the dinner was underwritten by eight conservative California tycoons, including Reagan Patron Holmes Tuttle and Union Bank Chairman John Heidt.

...women have a stake in the future of RUS. In the past years of lame student government, RUS has provided a steady supply of money for a variety of worthy student enterprises. It has helped the Black Students Association (BSA), for instance, and has also regularly helped underwritten such diverse institutions on campus as the Women's Clearinghouse and the annual Carribbean Club spring carnival. The Clearinghouse would sorely miss RUS; administrators recently eliminated the budget of the women's counseling and referral service...
