Interesting To Teach

"The job I have at Princeton will be very
interesting to teach. And I will be much
closer to both New York and Philadelphia,"
said Mr. Orfield in a phone interview
yesterday.

"I do like the University, but the student
body should be more heterogeneous.

"One of my basic reasons for leaving
involves the administration here: they seem
unresponsive to the social problems surrounding
them. Our department is OK,
though. It is a very congenial place," Mr.
Orfield continued.

Mr. Orfield, now Assistant Professor of
Politics and Public Affairs, had some
noteworthy comments on the students that
he has been teaching in his two years at the
University.

He said that he has noticed a
"tremendous difference in energy between
the students of a year ago, and the students
today. They seem more lively now, and
more willing to answer my in-class challenges.
