e Bac-hrac the clear s e r choice in 8th CD B Z From the beginning, the focus of attention in the 8th Con- gressional District Democratic nomination has been on one a man: Joseph P. Kennedy II. Despite his lack of political exper- r ience, Kennedy's name, wealth, and looks have made him the favorite in the race to succeed Thomas P. O'Neill. In recent weeks, however, State Senator George Bachrach has demonstrated that he can command the broad base of support necessary to defeat Kennedy. The two are a study in contrast. Kennedy, a young and afflu- ent businessman, has no track record and no established cre- dentials. Bachrach is an experienced state senator with an im- peccable voting record.

As a result of defendants' breach of contract, MIT refused to award tenure to plaintiff and terminated his employment contract with MIT. The denial of tenure to plaintiff and termination of his employment caused him loss of income, employment benefits, and other financial losses, and damaged his professional reputation. Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing Plaintiff's contract with MIT as an associate professor contained an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Defendants' denial of tenire to plaintiff on the basis of criteria other than the established tenire criteria, and on the basis of impermissa- ble criteria, such as the plaintiff's exercise of free speech and academic freedom rights, constituted a breach of this implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in that: (a) Such actions violate the public policies of freedom of speech and academic freedom.

C EDUCATION COMMITTEES' UPDATES: - s **Committee on Science Education - Last spring, the committee issued an internal report that considers changes to the Science Distribution (SD) & Chemistry/Math/Physics General Institute Requirements. The committee recommends a new list of SD subjects, limited to 2 or 3 per science school department. Each new SD should "exempli- b fy the way science is conducted in its field," according to Professor Robert Silbey, Chair. Also recommended: the * total number of SD units (now 36) should be reduced. This fall, the committee will evaluate the current- Laborato- * q( ry Requirement and possible alternatives. * C,**Committee on the HASS requirement - The committee has completed its final report and submitted it to the * .ts Dean for Undergraduate Education, Professor Margaret MacVicar. The report will be released by the end of Sep- * tember. The committee has adjourned. If** CEUE - By the end of September, the commission will issue a set of initiatives aimed at enabling the School of * § Engineering to realize the CEUE Goals of an Engineering Undergraduate Education, devised last spring. The * $ CEUE is also working with the Course Evaluation Guide General Committee of the Undergraduate Association * IAt and Engineering -, neering School departments to design and conduct a more comprehensive review of undergraduate engi- - subjects, to begin this fall.
