Whitlock's feeling that the College has changed since that post-'72 period is born out by a profile of the Class of 1975, compiled by Robert J. Ginn Jr. of the Office of Career Services and Off-Campus Learning (OCS-OCL). Between 1974 and 1975, the percentage of seniors in each class who were unsure of their eventual vocations at the time they graduated more than doubled, jumping from 4.1 per cent to 9.1 per cent. And although 95 per cent of the Class of '75 told the OCS-OCL they planned to eventually attend either graduate or professional...

After catcher Bill Cote reached second on a two-base error by Husky first baseman Joe Ginn, Singleton drove him in to make the margin 5-0, Halas singled and Goetz walked. That was all for Walker and Nick Kokinidis came in with the bases full to pitch to Knoll, who greeted him with a two-run single...
Robert J. Ginn, associate director of Harvard's Office of Graduate and Career Plans, said yesterday, "I'm surprised at the survey. We have not felt any decrease in hiring. The number of firms coming to interview students is holding steady...
