Yee, Patricia; Seltzer, Joanna (1969). Description and Use of the Data Files on Military Careers. Information System for Vocational Decisions.
This paper summarizes the contents, structure and possible uses of the Information System for Vocational Decisions (ISVD) data file on military jobs in the 3 major services. In all, 170 specific career fields for enlisted men and 34 for officers are included in the data file, which also provides for converting the inquirer's personal characteristics and preferences to a list of possibly suitable jobs within the military. In the appendices are included samples of the scripts used with the military datafile and a fairly extensive bibliography of materials which can be used in conjunction with the ISVD computer-assisted instruction program.
Young, William H.; Taylor, Robert (1967). An Opportunity for a Major American Advance through Higher Education.
Although American higher education now has the opportunity to make significant contributions to the national welfare, the rapid expansion of colleges and universities and the exhaustion of state tax potential have produced a critical situation in public higher education. Massive increases in enrollments at both the undergraduate and graduate levels are threatening the quality of higher education and jeopardizing universal educational opportunity. Both public and private institutions have suffered serious financial strains in the past decade from the pressures of inflation, necessary salary increases, the explosion of knowledge, and educational technology. Inability to meet rising tuition costs has caused an extensive loss of talent. To help solve the institutions' financial plight, a broad and substantial program of federal support is recommended. Appendices contain data on enrollments, institutional expenditures, state, federal and local expenditures and sources of revenue, family income of students, and talent loss.
