...admissions policy reflects the role which the administration has always seen for the school. It is pretty much open-door. Before 1962 it was completely so, and the only requirements were a high school diploma and a completed application from. But things were beginning to get out of hand, so Crooks, who has been Director since 1960, added an application deadline and required approval of a student's program of study by his home college. That first year, enrollment fell...
...Willwerth headed straight for Glassboro, N.J., when he heard the news of the impending Johnson-Kosygin meeting. Arriving from New York in the middle of the night, he managed to acquire a sparsely furnished room in the town's only hotel, tacked a penciled sign on the door reading "TIME Magazine, Glassboro Bureau," and was in business. Among the other TIME staffers who joined him were the Washington Bureau's Bruce Nelan and White House Correspondent Hugh Sidey, who had watched the guessing, the maneuvering and finally the hasty preparation that preceded the meeting, sticking close to Lyndon...

Inside the building, the reinforced police rushed the door. James C. Pinney '67, who was with the mothers, said the police were "wielding billy clubs and shouting 'kill'em'" as they tried to break up the group of demonstrators who had gathered in front of the doors. Other policemen clashed with another group, including Pinney, who attempted to join those in front of the door. A third group of policemen broke through the crowd outside to reach the entrance. In the shuffle, police crashed through the glass doors...
