...moment, the Federation is not yet over the hump. Several serious problems remain for it to deal with. The first is simply to drum up interest among the other TF's. Though its general meetings have been well-attended, the Federation has only reached a fraction of the teaching fellows in the University, and, as one organizer said, "Nobody's going to listen to any proposition we make until we have a good meaty percentage of teaching fellows behind...
...inequity in the grading system because a student's rank really has only minimal importance. In determining admission to Dean's List and such programs as Honors Tutorial a student's rank group is consulted, but most departments are flexible enough to admit students to Tutorial who fall a fraction of a grade short of the required level...

What rankles him is the fact that so few educators seem to share his concern. Only a fraction of 1% of all the billions spent on education goes to research. In many American schools, says a former HEW education official, the prevailing attitudes are "inflexibility, defensiveness and insularity," making them "fortresses against the community" rather than fertile forces within it. Adding to the indictment, Gardner charges that...
