...TIME HAS COME. Bok called for an investigation of study abroad, and an extensive array of committees and administrators promptly set about the task. University Hall bureaucrats busily churned out memos, the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL) copiously collected information on study abroad programs offered by 25 other colleges, the Eductaional Resources Group (ERG) debated and produced its ideal foreign study format, the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) analyzed ERG's plan and others for more than a year. Finally, last spring, CUE sent the Faculty Council its thoughtfully constructed, long-in-the drafting study abroad proposal--aimed...
Moreover, the definitions of money do not include a whole array of newfangled financing and banking techniques. These include money market mutual funds, which have grown from nothing seven years ago to more than $36 billion now. The funds put investor deposits into government and corporate securities that pay more than twice what is available in regular bank savings accounts; they also permit check writing against the investments, making the whole concept rather like super high-paying checking accounts.

What resulted was a radio map that, with one important exception, coincided with the images seen with the Kitt Peak telescope. The difference was that the sensitive radio antenna array discerned two jets of material that seemed to be shooting from one of the quasars...
Waite, who organized this ICCH/4 conference, might be computer-classified in the "skinny, mild-mannered, wears glasses, enthusiastic" subset of the "professor" category. He likes computers so much that he bought an array of Hewlett-Packard hardware (central processing unit, disc drive, digital tape unit, hardcopy printer, typesetter) with his own money. He set the rig up in his house, and he helps pay off the $70,000 cost by running a one-man computer typesetting business on the side. Waite's machines are on display at the conference. A Los Angeles-based colleague named David Packard has been...
