Graduate school admission may, in fact, induce students, especially upperclassmen, to reject the pass-fail option on the supposition that, all other things equal, four courses with fine grades is a better showing than three (and many admissions committees will face large numbers of applicants where, indeed, all other things do appear equal...
...doubt at all about the mechanics of writing in the President's name. Because some voters might invalidate their ballots by misspelling Lyndon or Baines, campaign tacticians are urging them simply to put down "President Johnson." Some 15,000 green-and-white PRESIDENT JOHNSON lapel pins and an equal number of WRITE IN PRESIDENT JOHNSON bumper stickers are being distributed, while about 2,000 neighborhood coordinators will personally hand out numbered "pledge cards" to the state's 87,500 registered Democrats and to many of its 113,000 independents...
...Wilson: the turndown of Britain's application to the Common Market, Britain's shrinking role as a world power, the retreat from East of Suez, austerity at home and the feeling that Wilson has equivocated in his statements to the country-a Wilsonian credibility gap that is equal to Lyndon Johnson's.

A new national poll released last week on the eve of Wilson's departure for Washington showed that the Tories are leading...
Paul Cowan's article raises one over-riding issue; the role of the committed man in an imperfect world. Only for those who fight in Vietnam today, or with equal full time vigor oppose the war, is the moral stance toward peace quite clean. But what of the committed Volunteer in an imperfect Peace Corps, the Vista Volunteer beneath a bigoted mayor, believers in peace in a time of war? All face the dilemma of hippiedom, the choice between the scars of participation and the righteousness of abstention. All must ask if progress toward peace is advanced or retarded...
...there are in fact too many countries where Peace Corps is not yet considered to be of critical significance, and there will be "too many" until there is not one. We cannot rest with Cowan's suggestion that Peace Corps "offer (host country) citizens at least equal voice in the programming and execution of Peace Corps activities." If host countries do not see Peace Corps as merely a vehicle for implementation of their own programs, this organization, in a few short years, is dead. All papers related to the purpose and training of Volunteers are prepared cooperatively. It is presumptuous...
