...plan carefully in order to stay out of the red. It is not easy for a University to cut expenses. More than fifty-five percent of last year's $25 million expenditure went into wages and the fixed salaries of permanent "Corporation appointees," while another twenty-five percent was eaten up by equipment and supply needs. The remainder went out to scholarships and prizes, retiring pensions, and that old accountants stand-by, "miscellaneous." Few major cuts can be made, if Harvard is to continue to provide its traditional facilities. The faltering tutorial system stands as evidence of what happens when...
...Evidence. Step by step, the committee had weighed the evidence. First of all, Horn's transcript was suspiciously complete to have been copied from diaries he had described as "moth-eaten" and partly illegible.

Broadcaster Don Hollenbeck, referee of the weekly CBS Views the Press, promptly called a foul. Said Hollenbeck, who doesn't like Bob Taft either: "It was quite a propaganda job. . . . The purpose was ... to make Mr. Taft and his hosts...
...visited some kappa factories. His guide told him that each month the kappa invent seven or eight hundred new machines which throw 40 or 50,000 kappa out of work. When No. 23 wondered about the absence of labor trouble, his kappa friends explained nonchalantly: "They are all eaten up. We kill all those workers and eat their flesh. This month 64,769 workers have been dismissed and the price of meat has dropped...
