...element of imprecision, and not necessarily an undesirable one, is that the psychiatric service is but one of several places of resort of for the student in search of counsel. The skeptics say that the existence of the Bureau of Study Counsel, The Office of Student Placement, the Board of Freshman advisers, plus assorted Deans, ministers, departmental tutors, and so forth provides the possibility (which has become a reality in a few instances) that a student may see them...
Defenders of the ad hoc system point out that a student may not see his problem as one needing a psychiatrist's help in unravelling and may instead go to the Bureau of Study Counsel.

Gerber of Memphis, a tough-looking, cigar-chewing product of the Crump machine, started digging for the kind of pay dirt that makes headlines. Presenting President C. Melvin Sharpe of the District board of education with a stack of papers and statistics he had not had a chance to read, Gerber started firing leading questions (and got his witness so befuddled that he once stated he agreed with Gerber's "testimony"), finally pried out an admission that "present events indicate if we had been more moderate we would...
