...rationality is lost to powerful feelings of patriotism and goodness in the catchy rock beat of the songs. But you get the message, All about motherhood and chauvinism and the evils of the sex and drink. You get the message. And wealthy businessmen in the fervor of it all dash off $500 checks, and high school and college kids run over to sign up, to be Sign-Out people themselves and solve the problems of the world by spreading the Word...
Zero Visibility. After laboriously working their way up the mountain, the remaining seven climbers reached the 17,300-ft. level by Feb. 26. One day later, all seven tried a 3,000-ft. dash to the summit. They were forced back by "white-out"-zero visibility, caused by fog against the snow.

Wayne Anderson, who has won the Heps dash for the last two years, is the underdog this time to Army sophomore Van Evans. The tiny Cadet has whipped Harvard's captain twice this season. But Andersen is a clutch performer and he could do it. Anyway, second is safe...
Only four men have ever run the 100-meter dash faster than the San Jose (Calif.) State College senior, who has clocked 10.1 sec. (the world record is 10 sec. flat); the 100 is not even his specialty. Only a handful can long-jump farther; Smith has done 26 ft. 10 in. unofficially, even though he has never practiced the event. In the 220-yd. dash, nobody comes anywhere close. Last spring in San Jose, Tommie ran the 220 on a straight course in 19.5 sec., clipping .5 sec. off Dave Sime's ten-year-old world record...
Steve Schoonover was fourth in the pole vault at 14 ft. 6 in., a full foot lower than the winning jump. And Captain Wayne Andersen finished fourth in the 60-yard dash. He was edged out by little Army sophomore, Van Evans, who whipped him at West Point in December...
