...present living arrangements provide an avenue of escape for those girls who find oppressive the institutional atmosphere of the brick dormitories. The houses' size and freedom from organized meals give at least a few of the benefits of private houses. Recently a document protesting the destruction of the houses was posted both on and off campus. It attracted an impressive number of signatures--well over forty per cent in the dorms where it was posted. Even those who do not want to live off-campus are impressed with the value of the diversity of the present arrangement...
...deal with the size distinction, the Fourth House is to be broken down into units of forty to forty-five students, each equipped with common rooms and kitchenettes for student dinner parties. Even if a unit of forty-five did not provide an atmosphere close to that of the brick dormitories--the administration is relying on the climination of corridors to vanquish institutional atmosphere--it is certain that the entries will be relatively unimportant in determining House atmosphere.

Neat brick middle-class American homes...Troopers and policemen everywhere, fat comic opera sherrifs in stenciled boots and stetsons. "K.O. the Kennedys!--Vote Rubel Phillips (Rep)" billboards, "Maintain White Democratic Solidarity--Vote Paul Johnson (Dem)" billboards, Kiwanis! Rotary! Order of the Eastern Star! White Citizens Council...
...object or trail a few feet of wire to serve as an antenna. Its range may be a few hundred feet. In such areas as residential Beverly Hills, where rooms are hard to rent and cars cannot be parked on the streets at night, the electronic sleuth buries a brick-size repeater in the victim's yard, threading its antenna wire into a bush. The repeater picks up the weak signal from a bug in the victim's house and rebroadcasts it in sufficient volume to be heard beyond the restricted area...
