1963

The recession has bottomed out. The country is on a slow path back to economic re, covery. That's the view refleeted in a spring lead story in the New York Times by Dave Rosenbaum, 23-year veteran of that newspaper and one of 13 journalists announced by Long Island University as winner of the prestigious George Polk Award. Dave, along widi Times colleague Susan F. Rasky, won the award for national reporting. "Meticulously and insightfully, they covered the complex issues, political maneuvering and personalities in the greatest budget debate that has ever taken place in the United States," the awards committee said. Dave took a break from reporting on Washington number crunching to teach Political Science 203, "The Press and Public Policy," in the spring at Colorado College. He discovered that much has changed on campus. No one had heard of Adlai Stevenson, survey courses are out, "political correctness" is in, almost no one smokes, drugstores display condoms prominendy, and the dining hall has a pasta bar, according to his retrospective in the Times Week in Review. On the other hand, the smell of stale beer on Sunday mornings, the agony of acne, Frisbees and bicycles, and the capacity for students to make ingenious excuses are still in vogue.
