...Scrutinized, as it prepared to take part in still another round of U.N. disarmament talks, a new version of the Soviet proposal -turned down by President Eisenhower last month-for a summit meeting to discuss arms reduction. Gist of the new proposal: foreign ministers and top-ranking military chiefs should attend the U.N. Disarmament Subcommittee when it reconvenes in London next month. Initial Washington reaction was cool. Reasons: the Russian proposal, coming two days after Moscow announced a cut in defense spending, seemed designed to 1) dramatize recent Soviet calls for uninspected arms reductions and 2) act as an entering...
Eurafrica. From the very beginning of the Algerian debate last week in the U.N. General Assembly's Political Committee, France showed that it was doing its best to link the vocation and the friendship. In contrast to 1955, when France boycotted a discussion of Algeria, its representative (largely to win U.S. backing) not only agreed to discuss the rebellion but even to inform the U.N. of France's plans for restoring peace in Algeria.

...students, however, have shown open irritation with the fact that almost one-third of their study time is taken up with Communist indoctrination, Russian language lessons, and "sport and technology," i.e., guerrilla training.

His clients (three shows a week) and the whole industry are so furtive about canned laughter that he will discuss it only anonymously. To operate his machine, he sits at a tape console with a panel of twelve buttons, plus controls for quality and volume. Each button fades in a different shade in the whole spectrum of laughter and applause, e.g., a male belly laugh, scattered titters, the out-of-control shrieks of women, the outburst bellowing...
Taking office time as a basis of judgment, Student Placement's No. 1 job is that of counselling future job-holders. This is simply a process whereby Huntington and Crooks talk with any student who wishes to come into their office and discuss their future plans. These talks usually begin with a discussion of the student's desires, an evaluation of his talents, his immediate future (military service and graduate school), and finally, definite suggestions...
