B.S.U.s do not always use violent means to achieve their ends, and not all of their demands are unreasonable. They have also forced the universities to rethink their obligations to Negro students. Yale now offers for the first time a major in Afro-American Studies. The University of Illinois has agreed to admit 2,000 blacks over a four-year period. Last week a faculty committee at Harvard agreed to establish an Afro-American Studies center, subject to a faculty vote, and Berkeley's executive committee of the College of Letters and Science approved creation of a black studies...
...little was known of Tanzanite. Among the first to realize its value was a Goanese prospector named Manuel de Souza, who stumbled across a pocket of crystals in Tanzania in the summer of 1967. Samples were sent for appraisal to German lapidaries, who recognized the stones' potential for use in jewelry. Other prospectors dug in, and the area of that first find is now pockmarked with holes. "It is all rather like the Klondike," says Dr. John M. Saul, a New York geologist with three claims in the area...
...price of $8 or more per capsule. The predictable result is that nearly all the "THC" now being consumed, by sniffing or otherwise, is not really THC at all. Instead, it may be talcum powder, an amphetamine ("benny"), LSD or, more likely, a tranquilizer no longer approved for human use but still used to knock out ailing rhinoceroses and elephants in zoos...
...open for the Soviets to use future orbiting platforms not only as launching pads for manned lunar shots but also as bases from which rockets will explore the solar system. In addition, even the present four-compartment version might provide a roomy orbiting laboratory from which to observe the earth and its weather, or to give astronomers a wonderfully close, clear look at the heavens. Western scientists cited the attractions to biologists and engineers of spacelab experiments in utter vacuum and weightlessness. There also remained the unspoken threat that Moscow could turn a space station into a military weapon...
Feeling for Movement. Like most young directors, Samperi owes much to others. Alvise's energetic forays in his wheelchair are photographed in a manner heavily reminiscent of Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Like Roman Polanski, Samperi likes to use objects as characters (a necktie, a rifle, a vase), and his consuming interest in role playing and destruction through domination is almost pure Pinter. Unlike Pinter, however, Samperi fails to draw his characters in full proportion. Even if the viewer can accept Alvise's sadistic madness, he can never be sure just what...
