...members of the new sophomore class. Accordingly, early in October, the "punching season" opens in Cambridge. Actually the Club recruiting process is always in operation. Even during his freshman year a top Club prospect will be carefully eyed, his circle of friends sifted for other "club material," and a campaign strategy discussed. Both undergraduate and graduate members can nominate "punchees," and "legacies"--sophomores who have had a member of their family in the Club--will automatically be put on the list of men "to look over...
...apiece (two weeks' wages) with the alternative of one month in jail. Cried one: "We are all washerwomen. Please give us time to pay our fines." Next day 248 more went on trial. But in spite of the government's efforts, the black women's campaign against carrying the hated pass seems only to be beginning. Ex-Chief Albert Luthuli, President General of the African National Congress, called upon men to join the resistance.

In past books, such as King Jesus (TIME, Sept. 30, 1946), he has taken up arms in her behalf against what he considers the anti-feminist conspiracy of Judaism and Christianity. His latest book, Adam's Rib (Yoseloff; $6), is an effort to rescue another archetype...
...Association of Better Schools, of which Mrs. White is a member, proved itself not quite liberal enough to ignore her race, refused to endorse her candidacy. But a milk-bottle collection in Houston's Negro districts boosted funds to some $4,000, and Candidate White began a hard campaign. Pointedly, she talked of issues, e.g., Houston schoolchildren pay 4? more a half-pint for lunchtime milk than children in surrounding districts because the hyperconservative school board has refused to accept federal aid. She did not orate for integration. But she visited Negro schools, some of which lack libraries, cafeterias...
