Contrary to Mr. Glassman's assertion that general aid to education is incompatible with America's ideology, $1.5 billion of Federal aid to education is for institutional support. The mechanisms for disbursing these funds are categorical grants for more or less specific pulrposes, but in most cases the effect is to provide general aid for any purpose the university desires. The effect is essentially to provide aid (through higher quality or lower tuition) to those enrolled in college, who tend to be relatively affluent. My personal feeling is that most of these funds would be better allocated to Federal scholarship...
Unfortunately, some participants in the free university movement are in danger of misinterpreting that idea. Those who see no difference between teachers and students in effect reject the intellectual hierarchy that is basic to learning. Teachers, after all, are supposed to know more than students. If both are "equal," the result is initially stimulating and ultimately numbing. Everyone goes his way-inward.

At home, the blessings of prosperity now threaten to turn into the pangs of inflation. What happens in Germany next will have a vital effect on all of Europe...
Jackpot. The campaign has had its effect on service. Reservation clerks, sporting straw skimmers with hatbands proclaiming "Happiness," give the weather report as they announce the gate number. While demonstrating oxygen masks, stewardesses tell passengers about the epicurean banquet that lies ahead. One Pittsburgh cargo handler helped his group win by carrying a big box out to a shipping customer's car, stowing it in the trunk, then walking around to open the car door-and bowing...
