News and Notices Positions Available Director, Examinations Institute The Division of Chemical Education (DivCHED) seeks applications to fill the position of Examinations Institute Director. The Institute is responsible for the development, validation, norming, distribution, and scoring of chemistry examinations (the "ACS Exams") that cover a variety of chemical topics and are used at different levels of education. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Chemistry or Chemical Education and should have demonstrable familiarity with assessment in chemistry. The Exams Institute has many of the characteristics of a small business: successful applicants will be characterized by demonstrable skills in areas such as personnel management, accrual accounting, computer graphics, high-end software for page layout and design, and ancillary software required for Institute operations. Since the Exams Institute is an agency of DivCHED, applicants are expected to demonstrate a working knowledge of the Division of Chemical Education and its programs. Successful applicants must demonstrate the willingness of their home institutions to support the Institute. Institutional commitment must include adequate space configured to the needs of the Institute, release time for the director, and other services detailed in the document "Hosting the ACS DivCHED Examinations Institute". Applicants who are otherwise qualified but who cannot obtain the necessary institutional commitment may be eligible for a senior faculty appointment at Clemson University, which is prepared to continue to host the Institute.

How does it relate to creativity and what evolutionary function does creativity have? And is it possible to know whether our brains' capacity for imagination is still evolving? [

The creation of what Conant called "Jefferson's ideal," a new intellectual elite selected strictly on the basis of talent, and dedicated to public service, would, he believed, make America a more democratic country. your view After reading this opinion, tell us what you think.

Achievement tests, he argued, favored unexceptional rich boys (girls weren't part of Conant's meritocratic equation) whose parents could buy them top-flight high school instruction.

November 20, 2001 Last Updated 9:22 am est Breaking Records An article in the metro section of today's New York Times runs under the headline "Advocacy Group Says Homeless Are Breaking Shelter Records." The article reports on a study that claims "the number of people sleeping in municipal shelters and welfare hotels exceeds 29,000 nightly the highest number in the city's history." The Times reports that this "has prompted advocates for the homeless to sound the alarm" and it quotes a spokesman for Mayor-Elect Bloomberg saying Mr. Bloomberg "was aware of the increasing number of homeless people." There's a huge leap of illogic going on here. These homeless advocates who are sounding the "alarm" at the large numbers of people who are being sheltered are the same ones who sound the alarm whenever there are homeless people on the streets who are not immediately sheltered. Rather than indicating an "increasing number of homeless people," the statistic could quite possibly indicate that the Giuliani administration is making progress in increasing security in the city's homeless shelters and in improving the efficiency of the intake system that puts people in shelters. In other words, for all the Times article tells us, eight years ago there could have been 40,000 homeless people in New York 39,000 sleeping on park benches and in the subway, and 1,000 in the city's municipal shelters and welfare hotels. If today there is no one sleeping on park benches or in the subway, and if today there are 29,000 people in municipal shelters and welfare hotels, some might consider that an improvement. The 29,000 statistic, on its own, is not necessarily enough to justify sounding "the alarm" or speaking of "the increasing number of homeless people."

November 1957 Education in the Western World Before serving first as our high commissioner and then as our ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany, James Bryant Conant had been at Harvard University for thirty-five years as instructor, professor, and president by James Bryant Conant T O one interested in comparative education, it is fascinating to see how, today, many nations are struggling to solve the basic problems connected with the selection and education of future members of the professions. To a comparative educationalists many questions about the selection and training of doctors and lawyers in different countries are questions almost without meaning. Asking whether European schools are better than schools in the United States is like asking a comparative anatomist whether a whale is a better mammal than an elephant. The comparative anatomist is interested in examining the similarities and differences to be found in animal or plant organs which carry out the same function; he is very cautious, however, about proclaiming the virtues of a device found in one particular species over a device for a similar purpose found in another. Of course, the anatomist knows that mammals are modified only slowly by changes in environment; unlike schools or colleges, no man-made decisions will radically alter the structure of the functioning organism he is examining. Some will argue that this vitiates my analogy; they may claim that the essence of human organizations lies in the fact that conscious acts of men and women can change them, and as history shows, overnight if need be. "But wait a moment, ' the student of the comparative anatomy of schools will say, '-not overnight surely, except at the point of a bayonet or in our time under the shadow of armored vehicles and tanks." And such changes, he will argue, are the equivalent of pathological alterations.

Academia / CIA Coleman, Peter. The Liberal Conspiracy: The Congress for Cultural Freedom and the Struggle for the Mind of Postwar Europe. New York: The Free Press, 1989. 333 pages. Peter Coleman is a former member of the Australian parliament and editor of the Australian journal "Quadrant," one of the literary magazines established in the 1950s by the CIA-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom. This explains his interest in exposing and apologizing for the "liberal conspiracy" of post-war intellectuals who fed at the trough of the Western spymasters. He inadvertently exposes them because even though the facts were well-established they have never been coherently compiled. But Coleman would rather apologize for them, as most of these "idealistic, courageous, and far- sighted" men did not know that the CIA regarded them as just another front. From 1950 until the exposure of the CIA's penetration of domestic foundations in the mid-1960s, the Congress for Cultural Freedom spawned international seminars, regional programs, and about two dozen cultural, literary, and political magazines throughout the Western world (the flagship was England's "Encounter"). Many leading intellectuals were involved: Sidney Hook, Arthur Koestler, Melvin J. Lasky, Irving Kristol, Dwight Macdonald, Daniel Bell, Edward Shils, and Ignazio Silone. After CIA funding ended in 1967 the Ford Foundation tried to take up the slack, but CCF was never quite able to recover from the embarrassment. Diamond, Sigmund.
