Another group in Department, however, voices the opinion that the College student should not clutter his schedule with pre-professional courses, but rather use his time to study such fields as music, literature, and mathematics. If a student does do graduate work later in economics he will have no trouble picking up whatever advanced analytic tools he needs at that time, while if he does not intend to do so there is no sense in wasting his time with a lot of specialized technique, this bloc maintains...
...bagpipe as it signals from two transmitters-one powered by a chemical battery, the other solar-powered and possibly could transmit for the expected life of the satellite-20 years. But, through a unique timing device, the radio will shut off after one year so as not to clutter the air waves. Explorer VII takes over from the Explorer VI paddlewheel (TIME, Aug. 17), whose solar-powered radio, expected to run for years, disappointingly signed off a fortnight...
Jutting out of the clutter of Hamburg's docks is a giant rooftop sign that pinpoints the location of the big, busy Schliekerwerft.

He lunches in S.-P.'s small dining room; one of his favorite dishes is hash. His home life is just as plain. A man who cannot keep from.working with his hands, he rebuilt a loo-year-old farmhouse from a tumbledown wreck...
...Forms. Keeping ahead of the racketing clutter of this crashing expansion, Brain has successfully put over some of the most interesting U.S. public experiments in setting up ungraded classes and grouping children according to ability. Bellevue was one of the first cities in the far West to provide foreign-language experience in the elementary grades (French, Spanish, German). Bellevue also cut grade and age barriers to encourage able youngsters to push ahead for advanced work in languages, music, mathematics. Such a pushing program needed a keen staff and close community support. A brush-topped joiner and prizefight buff, Brain...
