There has seldom been an article discussing the Commuter's Center that didn't begin with references to the unfavorable tags once connected with the non-resident student. Although such remembrances benefitted the commuter by contrast to his presently improved status, the Dudley Committee showed this week that contrast to the past is unnecessary. With all the energy of their winning athletic teams, the Commuters have initiated a student advisory program to draw Dudley's freshmen into more of the University's activities. Nearly fifty upperclassmen are now dividing their time among 122 freshmen, and the results have been more...

Producer Samuel Chotzinoff sent Soprano Price before the cameras without special makeup. At first sight, her striking features looked rather exotic, although the TV screen virtually wiped out the color contrast between her and other singers. But as Puccini's melodramatic opera proceeded, Soprano Price's quietly expressive acting began to tell and she became Floria Tosca, coquettish in the arms of her handsome lover (handsomely sung by Tenor David Poleri), murderous in the arms of the villainous police chief (Baritone Josh Wheeler), and distraught at her lover's death. Vocally, she was head and shoulders above...
