Burned Sellers? Confronted by the politically potent cattlemen-and by the cries of beef-hungry consumers-the Administration may yet be forced to cave in and call off the freeze prematurely. The pressures on the White House will grow because the shortage is likely to become much worse in the next two weeks.

In addition the number of freshmen assigned to their first-choice Houses dropped from 49 to 45 per cent because a few Houses received most of the applications. As a result, 45 per cent of the men not assigned...
