Bush Fund Brouhaha Obscures Issue
Now that both The Thistle and The Tech have exhaustively covered the story of
the beleaguered Vannevar Bush Trust, I believe it is the right time to cut
through the misinformation, and give you my perspective. The critical donor
document of the Bush Trust says: "without accountability."
It says that no one, not the president of MIT, not the undergraduate or
graduate student bodies of MIT, is supposed to have any say in how this fund is
spent. I agree that everyone should know about the existence of the fund;
but how the fund is spent is between the Undergraduate Association president,
MIT (through Arthur C. Smith, dean for undergraduate education and student...

Notes on the Associative Trails Administrivia: fix your links!Mini-reviews
of the trails. I had a good time exploring your associative trails.
Many were far more interesting and imaginative than Vannevar Bush's hypertext
lab-book. There was an interesting mix of trail structures: narratives,
graphs, rankings, cyberspaces, essays, polemics, and even an inquiry or two
in the style of Bush. Most were more successful as "tour-guides"
than as traces of an inquiry. Of course, this is to be expected when the source
material--everybody's journals--is already familiar. One thing to think
about is whether Bush's Turkish short-bow example would have been as interesting to read... These
are some of the things that I looked for in rating.
