...originally planned to discuss parietals--as well as other business--with the Committee on Houses, (composed of the Masters and Deans Ford, Watson, Glimp, and Von Stade). at a dinner meeting scheduled for Oct. 26. The Dow uproar occured Oct. 25, however, and an emergency Administrative Board meeting eclipsed preparations for the dinner...
...Ph.D. candidates. At Michigan, for example, classified electronics research has produced at least 30 doctorates. There is also considerable nonmilitary fallout from secret work. A 26-acre antenna built at Stanford to help the U.S. learn how to detect enemy missile launches was used by Stanford Electrical Engineer Von R. Eshleman to bounce the first radar signals off the sun.* Classified research at Michigan helped Emmett N. Leith develop the new science of holography (see SCIENCE), which uses laser light to produce three-dimensional images with potential uses in art, television and industry. Says Leith: "The idea that...
...finest in contemporary art to Pittsburgh. But the current budget of $160,000 does not go far in today's rapidly expanding art world.

An international jury found so many works of merit that it selected not one, but six artists as winners of $2,000 prizes (see color pages...

Von Groschwitz drew the line only at the European artist who submitted a piece of dynamic Dada that requires the viewer to light a fuse, then watch as the work blows up in his face...
Galleries containing works by the artists of Spain, Japan and Italy are oddly disjointed and somehow déjà vu. Perhaps this is because, while Von Groschwitz visited many foreign countries, for economic reasons he has relied too often on sculptures already displayed in Manhattan galleries. Similarly, Brazil, Cuba, India, Mexico and the U.S.S.R. are represented by one artist apiece-a form of tokenism that might better have been bypassed...
