DELAWARE. Democrat Sherman W. Tribbiff, 49, coasted into office on a kind of reverse landslide: the land simply slid out from under his opponent, Republican Incumbent Russell W. Peterson, 56. A research chemist with a Ph.D. who left a $75,000-a-year job at Du Pont to run successfully for the governorship in 1968, Peterson had won a deserved reputation as a reformer and innovator; among his credits was a widely praised coastal zoning law, enacted in 1971, that barred polluting industries from building plants along Delaware's 381-mile shore line.

One such project might be an investigation of concepts of sexuality as expressed in linguistic taboos and their changes. Another, at an even more basic level, might investigate how ritual...
Although there were a number of more perceptive blacks who sensed a new direction was needed, they were cowed into silence as the old guard struggled to keep its hold, finally losing its grip on black students thinking after they prevented whites from attending a speech by Ms. W.E.B. Du Bois at Sanders Theater during the 1970-71 school year, Ms. DuBois denounced the students' actions, and it became clear that the old black leadership had outlived its day. At the next Afro-election, a member of the Class of '74--the first class not present at the University Hall...
