...Army began last year to grant contracts for new Senior ROTC units to 15 selected colleges and universities each year. The first group of institutions included such schools as Brigham Young University, St. John's University of New York and other imminently respectable institutions. There are reported to be about 150 institutions of higher learning still on the Army's waiting list, each eager and willing to accept the contract terms which have prevailed for 50 years. Combined with low officer production and other reasons, this access to other college campuses might cause the Army to withdraw form some...

The total value of these scholarships is presently around $230,000, and in an average year, about five borderline students are accepted to Harvard as a result of receiving this stipend. The non-Regular, or Contract NROTC students do not receive scholarships, but they do get the standard monthly allowance of $50 in their last two years, and also have the option of electing a two-year course, with a summer training cruise, in preference to the full four-year course...

Marijuana itself is so variable in potency that the National Institute of Mental Health announced last week that it will have five standard strains grown under contract at the University of Mississippi. At the Research Triangle Institute in Durham, N.C., extracts-including THC-will be prepared from this pot, and the N.I.M.H. will let a limited number of qualified medical researchers test the products, under strict control, on human subjects. That way, N.I.M.H. hopes eventually to find out what are the standard, predictable effects of pot and its various derivatives, including genuine...
