Collier responded to the Memo's claim that Mather House is "severely overcrowded" by saying Wednesday that Mather is actually "relatively less crowded" than any other House. Collier supports this statement by comparing the percentage of residents who exceed "ideal capacity" (the number of single bedrooms) in each House. For Mather this percentage is 14.6, a lower figure than that of any other House...
...banks of the Charles pose similar dangers. Carbon monoxide sampling that I did during the week of April 1 through April 9 showed CO levels of 25 ppm not uncommon during rush hour. For the one hour jogger, carbon monoxide levels found on the circuit exceed those of heavy cigarette smokers in some cases. For example, a person smoking three cigarettes in a row may produce carboxyhemoglobin levels of 7 per cent, corresponding to an altitude of 7000 feet above sea level. The physiological consequences are the same as those for the hockey player...
...late Joseph C. Wilson, builder of Xerox Corp., was fond of observing that if his company continued to grow at the meteoric rates of the 1960s, its sales would soon exceed the U.S. gross national product. The implication of that self-evident absurdity: Xerox's growth would have to slow; and it has now come true.

Last week, after two White House meetings with top health authorities, President Ford took an extraordinary step to avert any repetition of that disaster. He called for the inoculation of the entire U.S. population-a program that would exceed even the record-breaking 100 million oral doses of polio vaccine given during a year and a half in the early '60s-and asked Congress to allocate $135 million in federal "seed" money for production of a new vaccine that is effective against the swine virus, if indeed it reappears in epidemic proportions. To supply enough shots for every American...
...high flyers' wings have been clipped and such laws as the Pension Reform Act of 1974 mandate a new prudence among managers who invest other people's money. Dozens of "index fund" managers now buy high-dividend stocks and merely try to match or slightly exceed increases in such popular price indexes as Dow Jones and Standard & Poor...
