A Master's degree program in engineering in Portland, Oregon, was taught by faculty members who commuted from the School of Engineering at Oregon State University 80 miles away. The one three-hour meeting per week schedule maintained by this program didn't produce the quality of course that resulted from on-campus instruction by the same…

Based on information furnished by 227 doctorate-granting institutions in their applications for NSF traineeships, graduate enrollment in the sciences and engineering declined slightly between 1969 and 1970. The 1969-70 decrease and the declining trend in the rate of growth during 1967-69 contrast markedly with the nine percent annual rate of…

While sarcastically criticizing and exposing the contradictions in the American Dream, the author pursues a variety of contemporary topics of social and cultural interest.
