...gospel east, 90 curious New Yorkers showed up for a five-day encounter group in Manhattan. A similar event last year drew 850; last April, 6,000. Since January 1969, when Donald Clark counted 37 "growth centers"-established sites for the development of human or group potentials-the census has risen past...
...that, the gubernatorial stakes are unusually high in 1970. Governors will be in control as congressional districts are redrawn to conform with the 1970 census data. Thus a big Reagan win in California could translate into as many as ten more Republicans in the House of Representatives when the nation's most populous state is redistricted; a victory in fast-growing Florida is worth perhaps three congressional seats to the party incumbent in Tallahassee next year...
...campuses have almost tripled their enrollment since 1950, the headlong expansion has excluded vast numbers of college-age blacks, Puerto Ricans, Chicanos and poor whites.

Money is obviously an obstacle: census studies show that a family with an income below $3,000 is five times less likely to include a child attending college than a family that earns $15,000 or more. But equally important is the appalling performance of many urban public schools, which have failed to prepare slum kids...

The administration charged that the figure was too high and that it did not correspond to the percentage of black workers in the Boston area as indicated by the 1960 census.

Preliminary 1970 census figures, for example, indicated last week that New York City has lost more than 500,000 residents since 1960-a trend shared by a number of Eastern and Midwest cities. Immediately Mayor John Lindsay contested the figures suggesting that his domain is down to a mere 7,200,000 or so residents. "My guess," he said testily, "is that we're seriously undercounted here...
