WITH the consummation of the "non-merger" and the appointment of the Strauch Committee to study Radcliffe's future, Harvard has recognized that equality between the sexes demands more than the present 2.5 to 1 male-female ratio. Change is in the air, and next year the Stauch Committee will examine a number of plans to bring more women into the College. But only one policy--one-to-one admissions--can begin to end sexual discrimination in the University...
...plan that Harvard as an institution regrets having to deal with the issue of giving fair consideration to minority and female candidates for Faculty positions. Only one out of 54 tenured Faculty members this year is a woman. By 1976, after affirmative action has been applied, the ratio will only improve so that one out of 50 is a woman.

As yet, no bankruptcies as spectacular as the 1970 crash of the Penn Central are in sight; but if the squeeze continues, even...
Schmidt, the former Finance Minister, apportioned the seats in his coalition Cabinet in almost the same ratio as they were in Brandt's: eleven Social Democrats and four Free Democrats. About half of the incumbent Ministers retained their portfolios. The most significant change was the departure of Free Democrat Chief Walter Scheel as Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister. Last week he was elected to a five-year term as West Germany's President, a ceremonial office with little real power...
