Students who are counting on funds from casual work for their summer budgets should go to the Weld Hall 30 Office of Summer Employment as quickly as possible to register for work, employment officials urged. Although a great many jobs are available as summer school opens, they are expected to go very quickly...
...dusty, paper-piled desk, with his big ears and jet-black bushy brows, Nuri looks like a grizzled old bear. He is ponderous of movement, quickly bored, and constitutionally unwilling to make a show of interest for politeness' sake. He dismisses an aide's idea with a casual wave of the hand that says, "You're a good boy but don't bother me with such nonsense." Worldly, infinitely experienced, he carries himself with the air of one who knows precisely where all the levers of power in his country are located, and therefore sees...
...Just as casual, just as relaxed, was U.S. Diplomat Harold Stassen as he strode around London and Paris last week. His job was to negotiate some sort of agreement with the Russians on disarmament, so that A-bombs, H-bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles in Florida might some day become less necessary.

All projects of over $500,000 must be passed by the full board of trustees,* which meets four times a year in a conference room with...
...illustrated most clearly in the Audience reviews and articles. Guy Davenport in "The Nymph in the Spark Plug" is concerned not merely with the "literary standards" of a literary mode but with its movement in intellectual history. The interest is in observation rather than in literary pomp. Audience's casual observations, however, can carry it astray. Donald Van Eman sets up a paradigm only so as to have an excuse for commenting on several Westerns; he wanders all over the lot and then attempts to pull a point...
