With regard to this, perhaps their most traditionally sanctioned task, colleges and universities today find themselves in a serious bind generally. On the one hand, there is the American commitment, entered into especially since World War I, to provide higher education for all young people who can profit from it. The result of the commitment has been a dramatic rise in enrollments in our universities, coupled with a rad ical shift from the private to the public sector of higher education. On the other hand, there are serious and continuing limitations on the resources available for higher education.
While higher education has become a great "growth industry", it is also simultaneously a tremendous drain on the resources of the nation. With the vast increase in enrollment and the shift in priorties away from education in state and federal budgets, there is in most of our public institutions a significant decrease in per capital outlay for their students. One crucial aspect of this drain on resources lies in the persistent shortage of trained faculty, which has led, in turn, to a declining standard of competence in instruction.
Intensifying these difficulties is, as indicated above, the concern with research, with its competing claims on resources and the attention of the faculty. In addition, there is a strong tendency for the institutions' organization and functioning to conform. to the demands of research rather than those of teaching.
According to the author, ______ is the most important function of institutions of higher education.

All 16 of the world’s top ranked players battled for the All England Championship. They included the three medal winners from the Sydney Olympics and current No. l Peter Gade of Denmark.
But it was the quiet thoughtful 27-year-old from Bangd lore who lifted the trophy on March 11 after beating China's Chen Hong 15 - 12, 15 -6 in the final.
It was the first Indian victory in the men’s singles tournament since Prakash Padukone, now Gopichand’s national coach, won the title in 1980.
Gopichand, a typical Asian mixture of power and touch, played consistently at the top of his game. He disposed both Gade and Olympic champion Ji Xinpeng of China along the way.
Sunday’s loser Chen can look back with satisfaction on an event in which compatriots Ji and Xia Xuanze ,the defending champion, both were disappointed.
But generally, China had good championships.
The women’s single’s tide went to Olympic Champion Gong Zhichao. She defended her All England crown with a comfortable 11-7, 11-3 success over compatriot Zhou Mi. Then Gao Ling teamed up with Huang Sui to win the women’s doubles after earlier lifting the mixed doubles title with Zhang Jun.
The mixed doubles victory was agony for the top seeded Danish pair of Michael Sogaard and Rikke Olsen, who failed to convert two match points and lost 13-13, 15-12, 17- 14.
Who won the All England Championship？
Two factors are pushing the development of robotics: technology and economics. Artificial intelligence is the key to a successful robot, but some of the simplest tasks for a human mind are difficult for a robot. One example: the ability to look at the comer of a room, where walls and ceiling meet, and know that the corner goes in, not out. Easy for humans, very tough for real -world R2D25. But new neural -network computers, which more closely resemble the human brain, look particularly promising for teaching robots how to adapt to their surroundings.
Economics is the key to the acceptance of robots. As declining birthrates lead to a shortage of entry level workers in much of the industrialized world, researchers are designing robots that can manage at least portions of such jobs as burger flippers or hospital orderlies.
Fast - food robots will probably cook and Package food; humans will still greet the public at the counter and make incorrect change.
By the late 90's,improved robots will be inexpensive enough to serve as aides for the disabled, giving even quadriplegics the ability to feed themselves and perform. office work. Not all robots will be so benign. Another model in production is a security guard designed to wander deserted warehouses and signal a human guard when it encounters intruders. At least one American firm has designed an armed security robot capable of firing a weapon.
And the long- promised home robot？ This little electronic servant, capable of delivering a frosty beer from the fridge, picking up the kids’toys and washing the occasional window, probably won’t be a mass market item in the 90’s--unless we modify our homes to accommodate them. Every room would need to have tiny radio beacons to tell the robot where it is, and staircases would need special construction for easy robot access. Sound unlikely？ Perhaps. But in 1890 a person might have thought it unlikely if he had been told that the entire urban landscape of the planet would be modified to accommodate the automobile.
In the next decade ,Robots will become practical because of all but one exception that ______.
