BEYOND THE HEDGES/by Michele Gillespie
Business schools may
disband minority group
Ten leading business schools in
America, including Harvard,
Wharton, Stanford, and the
University of Chicago, may be
attempting to disband an
association created by these
schools to recruit minorities.
According to George Ellis,
president of Harvard Business
School's Afro-American Student
Union, the deans of these ten
schools in attempting to dissolve
the Council for Opportunity in
Graduate in Graduate Manage-
ment Education (COGME) are
violating the organization's
bylaws.
"We believe it is not the
intention of the member schools to
simply reorganize COGME, but to
dissolve COGME," Ellis, a first-
year MBA student, claims.
When the Harvard Crimson
attempted to interview John C.
Burton, dean of Columbia's
School of Business and head of
COGME, he could not be reached
for comment.
In a resolution proposed in
October, COGME's board of
trustees discussed dissolution of
the group in three years. While
officials have yet to reveal whether
the resolution was approved, Ellis
contends that many of the
recommendations have already
been instituted.
Ellis quoted from the October
resolution, "three years from the
date of the adoption of this
resolution, COGME is to be
dissolved and any remaining funds
are to be distributed by the boards
for use in ways that serve the
objective of COGME." Ellis added
that the funds to be divided include
a $1.2 million financial base. Ellis
contends that this action violates
the organization's bylaws which he
said state that in event of
dissolution, the funds are to be
donated to a charity group.
According to Harvard Business
School Communications Director
Wiliiam Hokanson, COGME is
being restructured and not
dissolved. Richard West, dean of
Dartmouth's Tuck School of
Business, states that the trustees
believe COGME has outlasted its
function.
"Times change; we have to see
what's effective in the eighties,"
West said. He added that
"COGME has been more effective
in raising funds for financial aid
than recruiting students."
Students buck system
with book reversal
Taking the form of a protest, at
least a dozen students at Emory
University spent an entire night
revrsine over 125,000 books on

the second floor of the Emory
library.
Acfcording to the students
involved, their action was designed
"to make people think." In a letter
sent to The Emory Wheel, the
campus newspaper, and local
media, the students protested the
"selfish rush to a career of their
classmates."
The letter stated, "The books on
campus are the lasting living
testaments of the human search for
understanding, don't turn your
backs on them."
The Executive Editor of the
Wheel talked with three of the
involved students in an exclusive
interview. The students revealed
that they had planned this protest
for more than a year, choosing the
second floor of the library because
of its symbolic significance as the
resting place for the libary's
collection of books on music and
art.
"We wanted to show students
that it's okay to be crazy,
occasionally to do some
outlandish thing and not always go
strictly by the book. If you can't be
idealistic when you're young and in
college, when the hell can you be?
It only gets harder and harder," the
students said.
College students' goals
show shift over decade
A five-year cooperative research
project has revealed that male and
female college students have begun
to share career and family life goals
in a dramatic shift from attitudes
of the last decade.
Entitled the "Seven College
Study Plan," the research project
measured the goals, values, and
interests of students from Barnard,
Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke,
Radcliffe-Harvard, Smith, Vassar,
and Wellesley. To date over 14,000
questionnaires have been
completed by students in the
classes of 1981 to 1985. In the
future students will be similarly
surveyed every other year.
While ten years ago, most
female students sought careers in
•■traditional women's fields like
'teaching and social work, only 3
percent of 8000 female students
surveyed sought such occupations
in the class of 1981. One-third of
these students intended to pursue
medicine, law, business, or other
fields once dominated by men.
Of the 1000 men surveyed, one-
third assigned a high priority to
child-rearing and family life and
stated that they would prefer to
stay home or work part-time while
their children are preschoolers.
One-third of the males expected
that time with their spouses would
be their top priority in 15 to 20
years.

"The most interesting finding
was how little female and male
students differ today," said Dr.
Diana Zuckerman, director of the
project and a clinical psychologist.
"For example, more than 90
percent of both women and men
plan to obtain graduate degrees. 92
percent would like to marry and 88
percent would like to have
children."
Transfer hopeful shows
school masses' mandate
Stephen R. Goodman was a
sophomore at Duke University
who wanted to transfer to the Ivies,
BLOOM COUNTY
DON'T UMITFDR V00 AM
preferably Brown or Harvard. But
he wanted to give his application a
special twist.
"It's one of those ideas you think
up at three in the morning,"
Goodman explained. "I guess it is a
little off the wall."
Goodman spent a day at
Harvard and a day at Brown
collecting 500 signatures to
support his transfer application.
Confronted with a statement that
said,"We, the undersigned, hereby
support Stephen R. Goodman's
application for transfer to the
Class of 1985," students responded
positively at both campuses. "Two
out of three people say, 'Why the
hell not,' " said Goodman.
Harvard Senior Admissions
Officer, Lola H. Minifie, noted
that she had never heard of a
student submitting a petition along
with his Harvard application.
''There's always a first," she said.
"It amuses ine, but I don't think it
will have an impact one way or
another"
James H. Rogers, Brown's
director of admissions, stated that
Goodman's application petition
was the first he had heard of,
adding "It won't help him, but it
won't hurt him."
