...Absent for the second day in a row with a legitimate excuse was second string fullback Jerry Blitz, who was married over the weekend. Blitz, who has scored three touchdowns, and has the best rushing average of the Crimson backs, will rejoin the team today...
Lodge's foreign policy record has not always been as good--or as consistent--as your editorial would indicate. Though he has urged a strengthening of our European defenses repeatedly during his current campaign, it was only last year that he had himself announced (he was absent from the Senate) against the Kefauver-McMahon Amendment to increase European Military Aid.

He went down the line absent-mindedly, only the thud of mashed potatoes being dumped upon his tray reminding him of his surroundings. At the end of the line Vag picked up a coffiee and then stopped. He peered out over the tables packed with babling undergraduates, all of them waving their arms back and forth energetically. Over the monstrous...
