...administration is withholding decision on the proposed discount pending receipt of a report from the Student Council and one from the Faculty Senate, Yeo said. He stressed that the president's office was anxious to listen to student problems and to try to resolve them...

Fulbright himself helped to start the debate ten months ago with a speech entitled "Old Myths and New Realities," in which he urged Americans to shake loose of some of the foreign-policy feelings and sentiments that had settled in their minds in the anxious years since World War II.

They are mostly onetime U.S. Defense Department officials who in 1958 bought out the New York-based Marine Transport Lines, which is bidding for the Niarchos fleet and is anxious to keep it out of foreign hands. Through a complicated maze of companies, they operate 61 ships under American and Liberian flags. Leading the group is H.
