Under present rules, men may entertain women guests in the lounges between 5 and 7 p.m. on weekdays and to 11 p.m. on weekends. But faculty and student committees are now meeting to decide if the lounge rules may be extended to 11 p.m. everyday and to midnight on weekends. Women may remain in students rooms only until 7.30 p.m. on weekdays, but-till 12.30 a.m., on weekends...
...member of the armed services, I am faced, for the first time in my life, with a group of men who are near illiterates. They do not read to enlighten themselves, or to inform, or even to entertain.

...Look Black." All but one of the Pekes were left home last week, but the marquis' ballet dancers were on hand to entertain his guests with a performance of Swan Lake. For a while real swans were considered, but the marquis felt they might fly away inopportunely. To make sure nothing else flew away, he had 200-odd private policemen on hand to watch his guests and their estimated $9,000,000 worth of jewels.
