University fund-raisers have said the Core is the only major new program the capital campaign will finance. Expansion generally interests donors more than supporting exisiting programs, which the campaign will concentrate...
...Confused? So was I. And when I asked Joe Mathis, spokesman in HEW's Office of Civil Rights, to tell me what was going on, he told me it means "proportionately equal average per capita spending." In English, that means that if Harvard spends $300,000 for its athletic program involving 300 men, it must also spend $150,000 for an athletic program involving 150 women...
...opinion. Equal opportunity does not mean equal spending. He offers an analogy. "You don't say, 'You have to spend as much on men nurses as women nurses.'" Like our own football coach, Joe Restic. "Once you totally equalize it, you're not going to have a football program." He continues, "If you expect a sport to produce revenue, you can't cut back on the money for that program...
...antinuclearism becomes respectable, some antinuclear activists gravitate towards national politics, giving the previously localist movement a Washington focus. Antinuclear lobbyists have developed their own version of a moratorium--the nuclear phaseout. Phaseout to some people means no further expansion of the nuclear program, or even just a slowed rate of increase coupled with speeded-up development of conservation and soft energy technologies. Some phaseout plans allow for continued construction and use of nukes well into the twenty-first century before other energy sources can completely replace fission power. But we want, and demand, more: no more plants must be built...
...shortages, no brown-outs. With nukes providing less than four percent of U.S. electricity (itself only a fraction of total energy needs), with 30 to 50 per cent of our energy being wasted, with a huge excess electrical generating capacity on the part of the utilities, even a modest program of energy efficiency would totally eliminate the need for the uneconomic, inefficient, and highly dangerous practice of generating electricity with nuclear power...
