...foreign trade measure is perhaps the best and boldest of all the programs sent to Capitol Hill this year. Fashioned to meet the challenge and the opportunity posed to the U.S. by Europe's Common Market, it would extend the President's powers to negotiate bilateral tariff reductions, permit him to slash all existing tariffs by as much as 50%. More important, it would authorize the President to eliminate altogether tariffs on goods produced primarily...

CERTAINLY the boldest and, from the undergraduate's point of view, the most far-reaching of Mrs. Bunting's experiments is the new House system. Under her aegis the dormitories grouped into three House centers this year and, tentatively and sometimes reluctantly, began to sponsor a variety of social and intellectual projects. South House, composed of Barnard, Bertram, and Briggs Halls, held an art show; North House (Comstock, Holmes, and Moors) invited Norman Thomas to speak; East House (Cabot, Eliot, Whitman, and the Jordan co-operatives) put on a production of George Bernard Show's Heart-break House...
