The foundation distributed $183 million in grants and other forms of assistance in 1968. It issued its annual report Saturday, explaining how it spent the money and touching on American problems at home and abroad. McGeorge Bundy, president of the foundation, was particularly critical of the U.S. aid 1 1 program. D C U.S. Responsibility "We have not .nade a clear national decision that a sustained foreign aid effort . . . is as much a part of our responsible membership in the world as our spending for space or defense, he said in an introduction to the report. Bundy was adviser on national security affairs to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson before going to Ford Foundation. Bundy criticized both the and Johnson Administration the administraCongress tion for not asking for enough money, the legislators for cutting an already low request. He said the United States ranked seventh or eightn in the percentage of national income spent on foreign aid, a fact he called a national In a news briefing, Bundy said part of the problem lies in the failure of those who the aid support foreign program to convince the genera! public of its necessity. He said the Ford Foundation would try to follow the advice of a bipartisan group that recently studied the aid program and recommended that foundations try to contribute to a broader understanding of U.S. assistance efforts. (itiild Tradition In higher education, Bundy said, The average course is study in the average university of the first rank is . . . unaccountable. Course by course, it may be the best that good mer. can offer, but as a whole, it is far more the product of guild traditions than of a rational effort to make learning happen. He suggested it might be necessary to revise the learning structure completely, asking whether courses, lectures, units and other rigid divisions are out cf date and, if so, what should take their place. Bundy said part of the current crisis on college campuses stems from the students lack of confidence in what teachers are doing at every level of our educational system. Asked at the briefing about college said demonstrations, each situation was different but I dont myself think that occupying buildmgs is constructive activity.

But for me, every minute is one of excitement. A lens of this type is the most precise instrument in optics. No work is probably more exacting. The mirror must be ground to an accuracy of a mill'onth of an inch. Day is able to feel and see low and high spots. He marks them with black grease pen cits. I look at the mirror hour after hour as it rotates, he I see mountains explains. and valleys. When light hits it on one side its like lighting up a slope on a mountain. Every other day the optician turns the mirror on its side to run a test to see how hes coming. To check his accuracy he shines a light through a pin hole from a thin flat mirror. The light bounces back and forth from mirror to mirror. Day ing light and computes the curve hes grinding.
