Breaking the circle is all the harder because in one sense academic poverty is an attraction. Negro students do not flock to integrated campuses even when legally free to do so. They know the competition and avoid it. Nothing would please the better colleges more than first-rate competition on their own campuses. Last week they heartily agreed with new President William H. McEniry Jr. of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools as he laid out the urgent job for Negro colleges. "You and only you," said he, "are in a position to speak to millions of Negroes...
...woman under NHS will pay a token charge of 2 shillings (28?). The government will pay the rest, estimated at $2.08 a month. Health Minister Enoch Powell told Commons that he hoped doctors would prescribe the pills only when they had good reason to believe that a woman should avoid pregnancy.

One such-The Man Who Walked Around the World, by Benjamin Elkin (Childrens Press; $2.50)-bears the menacing label, "A Reading Laboratory Book," and offers "skill-builder words beyond the first thousand words for children...
Again unlike the Monro of old, the Dean has said that he would hope to avoid the "rhetoric and debate" that he says would result if the Faculty announced its reasons for prohibiting the hockey team from participation in the NCAA tournament. He says that Harvard has little to gain from "arguing bck and forth and answering a lot of mail." Harvard thinks there is plenty to gain in making clear its protest of NDEA affidavits or its support of the Peace Corps, federal aid to education, and certain admissions and athletic policies. The Faculty's decision on the hockey...
