...voluntary program to stabilize the industry's skyscraping costs (TIME, Feb. 15). Two weeks ago, he sent Labor Secretary James Hodgson and Harvard Economics Professor John Dunlop to negotiate with the building trades' executive council at Bal Harbour, Fla. Dunlop tried to win labor's tacit consent to a temporary wage-price freeze and creation of a voluntary labor-management-public wage board with power to lower wage increases and to impose settlements if necessary. If labor did not agree, Hodgson warned, the President might establish such a board by executive order. The emissaries cajoled in vain...

Defense Minister Moshe Dayan will fight for mutual withdrawal of both Israel and Egypt from the banks of the Suez Canal.

While in the past, "all students asked to leave the University" were prohibited from returning to Harvard property without the CRR's written consent, now only those students "asked to leave the University by the Committee or its predecessors" are subject to that restriction...
Such being the case, we hope that the centennial year is to inaugurate the era of good feeling between Harvard and Yale. The duello is a custom instituted by gentlemen, and presupposes a code of honor. Duels are ever polite, for the consent of a gentleman to measure swords is in itself a compliment to his adversary, and implies a certain parity of position and sympathy of sentiment. We hope, then, that the future contests between Yale and Harvard will not be marred by the expression of any feeling less creditable than honorable emulation. The students of Yale must certainly...
