...Knowland and New Hampshire's Styles Bridges-to work with the Eisenhower Republicans who are fighting for his program, Ike left his hard-pressed Capitol Hill defenders sadly disappointed: "I don't see how it is possible for any President to work with . . . the whole Republican group except through their elected leadership. This doesn't mean that in special cases and for special purposes you don't." Did he intend to "punish" the leaders who are attacking his program and "reward" those who support it?

For married tutors who have been unable to find lodgings except in some remote area of Cambridge, this alteration would be of great help. And as for the disgruntled single tutor, there is no telling how many honest men the change might make...

The contest is open to all members of the University, and other readers of this paper, except for members of the Corporation, their wives and relatives. It will also unfortunately be closed to those holding Corporation appointments, as well as to editors of the CRIMSON...
