...Living with a foreign family while studying at the universities of Bonn, Caen or Madrid during the junior year's fall and winter quarters. No vacation, the stint involves four daily hours of classroom study, intense language training and a strong dose of cultural shock. "A college can no longer give a broad education in its little oasis," says Hicks. "We're trying to use the whole world as our campus...
...brand of football that Coach Woody Hayes teaches at Ohio State, a fullback learns to expect a lot of punishment. "The only pass I like is the one in the classroom," says bluff Woody Hayes.

Negroes may not spend free hours in the sitting rooms of white dormitories, may take only minor roles in drama-department productions, may not play varsity sports. Paradoxically, they may visit white students in dormitory bedrooms if the door is kept closed, but may not visit in the dining rooms or social areas.
