...Slightly Ajar. It is a costly answer, particularly for the surplus-laden farmer. Since the Common Market began in 1958, French farm exports to the other five members have soared 253%, and the EEC was on the verge of heavily underwriting French produce beyond the Community as well. To ease the blow of his diplomacy, De Gaulle announced last week that Paris itself would subsidize French farmers to the tune of some $1.1 billion next year...
...hope that his partners would cave in and drop their supranational proposals, De Gaulle carefully kept the door slightly ajar. By "inviting" Boegner home rather than formally recalling him, the general avoided an outright break in diplomatic relations that would have signaled the end of the Common Market. French officials continued last week to attend technical EEC sessions hammering out the implementation of previously approved business like pig-meat subsidies and inland-waterway rates.

Brown students may entertain girls in their rooms from one until 6 on Sunday afternoons if they observe tiresome rules requiring doors to be ajar and at least three out of four feet to be on the floor. The same rules apply to Columbia, where women may visit for three hours on alternate Sundays. Brown almost got daily parietals last May, but students rioted on the eve of a corporation meeting called to consider the proposal. The corporation, annoyed, tabled the question indefinitely. Unlike their colleagues at Brown, Columbia men have...
