Unlike students in the '60s and '70s, these undergraduates did not take time off to "do their own thing." When they did take time off, it was to earn tuition money or work in internships. Bob Ferran, a June graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and an industrial-engineering major, planned his assault on the work force by interrupting his schooling to work six months with AT&T. Now he has a number of unsolicited job offers. His only regret: not having enough time to study history or political science, two reasons why he chose Berkeley...
Word of the discovery came last week from British-born Anthropologist J. Desmond Clark of the University of California at Berkeley. Says he: "I think we've got something both significant and extremely exciting." Although paleontologists often scrap as furiously over their bones as saber-toothed tigers, they do not disagree with Clark's assessment. "It's of tremendous potential," says Berkeley's F. Clark Howell, who has spent years fossil hunting in East Africa. Agrees Duke's Richard Kay: "A blockbuster...
...meager skeleton shows no noticeable anatomical variations from the remains of another ancestor, the famed 3.6 million-year-old "Lucy," who has been regarded until now as man's oldest direct kin. Such evolutionary stability over some 400,000 years, argues Anthropologist Timothy White, Clark's Berkeley colleague, must be considered strong support for the emerging view that species change, not gradually, as the Darwinians contend, but in relatively short episodic bursts...

Glaeser cities Edward Pinhole associate professor of Bio-chemistry at Berkeley as an example of someone drawn away by outside industry. Penhoet recently asked for a reduction of his position at Berkeley to adjunct professor so that he could spend more time with the biotechnological company he had just founded. Penhoet will lose his tenure and have his salary cut, but he says he wants to decrease his involvement on campus to "span the two worlds." It is not possible to surround a university with a most," he says, adding that interaction between universities and industry is vital...
