Also in "The New Student" is a slap-dash attempt to prove that American universities are in the toils of Big Business, based mostly on a quasi-review of a book which appeared two years ago. And the conclusion--that students and faculty should somehow gain control of University policies--is as breezily vague as the unqualified condemnation of America's Puerto Rican "imperialism" in the article that follows.

Although Pete Webber is a good prospect, he is overweight (over 200) and this has affected his control. Berg needs effective pitchers--"When you have games every other day and you can't count on your regular pitchers, it puts you in a hole." Relliy, a pitcher at Roxbury, will probably be pressed into mound service before long. The squad, which includes several prep schoolers who haven...
...regard to Sunday's elections in Italy, Mrs. Dean declared that the victory for the De Gasperi forces was only a reprieve from Communist control. "This gives us the chance to show this strong constructive program in action...
