Council Treasurer Albert F. Hofeld, Jr. '58 emphasized the increase in upper class donations, which he attributed to the Council's general record. He credited the bottleneck at the lone exit from Memorial Hall with increasing Freshman response. "They just had to stand there," he explained...
...production goals, largely because of the flight of 142,000 refugees to West Berlin in the first half of 1956. In Czechoslovakia the coal mines were harassed by a big rise in absenteeism (miners missed 18% of the shifts v. 9% prewar). Besides the manpower shortage, another big production bottleneck in the East was the lack of fuel and other sources of energy. In the first six months of 1956, Russian oil-refinery output dropped 400,000 tons short of its plan. Rumanian and Hungarian oil production also fell behind schedule...

Increasingly daring surgery is also coming to the aid of atherosclerosis victims. Surgeons in many cities can now cut out a diseased, bottleneck section of the aorta and use a graft from a frozen artery bank as a splint while the patient's own aorta heals. For similar roadblocks in the femoral (thigh) arteries, the surgeon may slit the artery lengthwise, scrape off the diseased deposits, and sew it up again...
