...United Family, last on the agenda at Agassiz, is a wonderful play by France's finest poet, Jacques Prevert. It has a subtlety underneath its blatant satire, and John Beck, who directed it for horselaughs, wasn't fully successful. But his staging was fast and broad, and he deployed eight expressive actors, including Sam Abbott, Miss Prutting, Paul Schmidt, Fran Blakeslee and the ubiquitous Mills...
Under the revised draft, officers will be reelected annually rather than serving until their graduations. To assure that the executive committee does not control RGA, the requests of only three members of the Legislature will be sufficient to have an item included on the agenda. The senior class president will be a member of the Legislature. Approval of two-thirds of the voters will be required to amend the constitution...

Few have spoken of the step beyond the test-ban, but disengagement is clearly the most promising. Disengagement...
...tests in the atmosphere (see THE NATION), and there were some local harassments in Berlin. But after a secret conference with East Germany's Walter Ulbricht, a Khrushchev communiqué omitted the standard polemics, contained only a mild mention of Berlin and West Germany as topics on the agenda. Meanwhile, Khrushchev kept trying to lure various heads of state to Geneva next week so that the 18-nation disarmament talks would, in his chummy phrase, "start in the right direction." No major power succumbed, but both the U.S. and Britain warmed slightly to the notion of a summit meeting...
