...Quelle crise! Culture Minister Andre Malraux has conducted a survey that shows that a minimum of 1,500 ateliers must be built by 1973, most of them just to house artists already living in condemned buildings. Since 1963, however, only $400,000 has been budgeted for new studios, and just 92 ateliers have been built. For the next five years, Malraux has only $200,000 a year to spend on artists' housing. Other than that, he can only encourage real estate developers to include low-cost ateliers in their high-cost apartment buildings...

Vellucci may have had some thoughts of embarassing Councillor Belin (Yale '39) by the measure; the fact that he didn't later his irresponsible style in submitting the measure leads one to suspect it. But if so, Cambridge is for once...
...karts that will turn 85 m.p.h. What both clubs fear is the unsupervised novice who spins around suburban lanes, and the impromptu races held in supermarket parking lots. Last year's casualty list, according to the National Safety Council: five killed. Admits Grand Prix Founder Sherman ("Red") Crise: "If not handled with care, a kart can be darned dangerous. We have to make this sport safe or we'll be out of business in six months...
