...three afternoon papers-World-Telegram and Sun, Post and Journal-American-have yet to recover the circulation they lost two years ago by raising the copy price from 5? to a dime. The Chicago Tribune now offers bargain advertising "zone rates" to hold fringe accounts, such as the corner grocer, who neither wants nor will pay for a citywide broadside. In Pasco, Wash., Sears, Roebuck began distributing handbill ads rather than accept the latest hike in ad rates. Moreover, newspapers, which once enjoyed a hefty 45% of the advertising pie, must compete with television. Last year alone...

...liberalized transfer policy would be a corner-stone of this proposed system. Last year, the College turned down 88.2 per cent of the transfer applicants from four-year colleges. This extremely high rejection percentage, moreover, is on the increase. Only two students transferred, as freshmen, into the class of '62, since members of the Admissions Committee feel that most students can obtain an adequate education at another college...
