...mostly Hausas of the Moslem North, which has been carrying on a vendetta against the thousands of Christian Ibos who have come from the Eastern Region to live. Aroused by reports that Hausas had been mistreated in the East, the soldiers surged out of their barracks to exact vengeance. They...
...reason is that the various forms of financial assistance to college students-scholarships, loans, jobs and combinations of all three-have finally caught up with rising costs, at least for now. A student may not always find the exact help he needs at the college he wishes to attend, and he may even have to scramble to put together his own "package" of aid. But, says Elwood C. Kastner, dean of financial aid at New York University, "where there's a will, there's a way to get through college...
...another, much of the new medical machinery is beneficial fallout from the miniaturization and precise measurement techniques learned by space-age scientists. Like protons, the furious but controllable forces of laser beams have already been used as exact surgical scalpels; at the National Institutes of Health, laser light is also being showered on cultures grown for only four hours in tiny, 2-mm. capillary tubes. The resulting scattered light can be read for presence of bacteria. Because the process is so highly accurate, the cultures do not have to be nourished for days until they grow large enough...

No one, however, has suggested that we follow Ethiopia's example and demand that every candidate for a University degree spend two years serving the state -- though Western Michigan College is experimenting with a plan which will enable students to count two years in a Peace Corps-like organization as the equivalent...
