When the Faculty Council meets this week to reconsider the various programs, it should approve the more liberal 12-12 plan. But the Faculty should focus its greatest attention on more fundamental ways of reconciling the students' need for flexibility with the Faculty's demand for "minimum standards." The best way to do this is by expanding the department's Independent Study program. By making Independent Study more attractive and more easily available, the department can give the students the freedom they need while maintaining the standards the School wants...
...wage was $2.04 in 1955-against $1.79 for government workers. By 1967, the gap had widened: $3.49 to $3.09. Not many employees any longer consider it a privilege to work for the government.

In Montreal, scalpers demand-and get-as much as $30 for a pair of $5 tickets to Canadiens' home games.

Next year, Hull says, he will demand $100,000, more than twice what any player has ever received before. But it still will not match his outside income. Endorsements (Ford cars and tractors, Jantzen sportswear, Supp-hose) and manufacturers' royalties (Bobby Hull sticks, pucks, T shirts) will net him at least $50,000 this year...
...commentator: "Aren't they lovely? These are opaque crepes by Hanes called Flower Pow." At which point the Merrill Lynch man interjects: "Hanes-now there's an interesting stock! Our research division gives it a good quality rating and Hanes's outlook is improved by the demand for panty hose...
