...many achievements which are to his credit. You seem to dwell upon the connection of Col. Bunker with "so-called right-wing causes" and, particularly, with the suggestion that his nomination is an expression of alumni dissatisfaction with the appointment of the James Lecturer, Oppenheimer. I could not avoid the conclusion that the CRIMSON was, in this instance, trying to effect an early disenchantment with candidate Bunker. Perhaps I am mistaken. It may be that your reporter failed to look into the impressive record of the Colonel. For, had he done so, I am certain that the article would have...
...Sarper charged that Greece's sole interest in Cyprus was "territorial aggrandizement" and solemnly advanced the current Turkish ploy: if Greece insists on self-determination for Cyprus, Turkey will insist that the island be partitioned between its 400,000 Greek and 100,000 Turkish inhabitants. Patently determined to avoid entanglement in a quarrel between three NATO members, the U.S. earnestly entreated the U.N. to do nothing. "The adoption of these resolutions, irrespective of their possible merits," said U.S, Delegate James Wadsworth, "would exacerbate the situation."

Chancellor Franklin Murphy goes into weekend seclusion to avoid rabid fans "prepared to trade their honor for two seats." Even if Wilt Chamberlain never achieves his tremendous promise, he will easily earn the trust fund that wealthy Kansas alumni are rumored to have put aside as his graduation present...

As a way out, Murray suggested that Congress might direct AEC to build some full-scale reactors adjoining AEC plants, thus avoid competing with private power as they would if they were scattered throughout the U.S. At week's end it looked as though some such middle way might have to be found to get the reactor program in high gear-or Congress might pass the Gore bill, which was only narrowly...
Such sections would serve a twofold purpose. Those able to cope with the math involved would no longer be forced to waste their time in section while instructors laboriously avoid math in their explanations of economics Phenomena or expound mathematical fundamentals. Time saved by the use of math could be spent on other phases of the course. In addition, such sections would tend to be more theoretical, thus avoiding an alternative approach to the subject for those interested...
