...swamped by the growing crime rate, all of them must struggle to cope with the increasing number of Americans who sue to settle a dispute. Yet in the past five years, only 35 new district judgeships have been added to the existing 307 to deal with the greater work load. The result is anything but speedy trial-particularly in the large urban areas. "Insufferable backlogs are normal rather than the exception in many jurisdictions," the Chief Justice said recently.

Dean Ford, chairman of the CEP, said last night that the Committee quickly decided to revise the rules when they realized how much Independent Study has changed over the years. Originally Independent Study was to be a mechanism for students to chop their course load from four to three and pursue--or not pursue--a special project with little supervision.

Now Dr. Benjamin Specie, 64, baby doctor and Viet Nam dissenter, has felt the fury of their wrath. Dock workers in Manhattan disdained to haul Spock's new 35-ft. ketch Carapace aboard the freighter Atlantic Clipper, headed for the Virgin Islands, where Spock has a winter home. Carapace's builders announced that they would sail the boat to the Caribbean themselves...

Originally Independent Study was meant to provide a mechanism by which good students could reduce their course load from four to three. The idea was that most students would choose to explore some obscure nook of their special field and would not want or ask for much Faculty supervision. Neither expectation has turned out to be true, but the rules governing Independent Study are still based on the old theory rather...
