...could not return to his home town of Cruz del Eje, 540 miles north of Buenos Aires, for the residents resented his having refused while President to pass out patronage to his friends there. Nor did he have the money to set up a new home. With no private income, Illia had barely managed to get by on Argentina's parsimonious presidential salary of $500 a month (plus $370 in living expenses). And out of office, he was too proud to apply for the presidential pension, which any how amounts to a mere $14 monthly...
...pleased with their progress. Wayne State University's Monteith College started the current trend in 1959. The University of the Pacific, which opened its first "college within a college" in 1962, will have three by next year. Two new campuses of the University of California, those at Santa Cruz (TIME, May 13) and San Diego, are building from scratch on the cluster principle. The University of Massachusetts teaches 60 sections of freshman and sophomore courses in its two-year-old Orchard Hill residential complex; freshmen at the University of West Virginia can take most of their required courses...

When the bars close, it's really time to swing, with all-night parties in motels and rooming houses or, in Saugatuck, Mich., on boats moored in the Kalamazoo River.

...about time someone recognized the "real" Juan. As a native of Santa Cruz, Calif., I am a faithful Giant fan and arch Dodger foe. They can have their $130,000 Koufax. We've got Willie and Juan, and that's all it takes...
McHenry feels that Santa Cruz is off to a fine start. He regrets that about 10% of his students "aren't mature enough" to handle the lack of grade pressure, tend "to drink beer and horse around." He says they must be culled out next year. The best indication of the optimism about the Santa Cruz experiment is that some 4,000 teachers have applied for jobs there, and more than 2,100 students have applied for the 475 positions in next year's freshman class...
