Students who fail Sophomore examinations will be allowed to take another test at the end of the Junior year, and to prepare for it by continuing non-credit tutorial work. Although there will be no technical bar to students who change fields of concentration, changes might be more difficult because of the expected increase of content in departmental tutorial...
...unsuccessfully focused on the electron and positron as the atom's "building blocks." Grebe hopes his table may have turned the trick. For it would, he suggests, indicate that gravity itself is an electromagnetic force accountable in electromagnetic terms. Like many another, this "unified field theory" may also fail. But, says Grebe, "the mathematical relations discovered cannot help but remain and be a useful step forward...
...Fail Safe? Originally, said a Western spokesman, the pilots came in with 78 contract demands amounting to 2% times the company's total net profit ($2,400,000) in 1957.

Drinkwater defied the pilots by signing with the engineers' union, and sees no quick end to the pilots' strike...

If the fuselage were damaged at high altitudes and pressurization failed, explosive decompression could knock out both pilot and copilot; to "fail safe," say the pilots, the system should have an engineer on the job who can also perform pilot's duties.

Loved and even coddled by his suburban parents, he does not ask what's-in-it-for-me but what-does-it-have-to-offer-for-anyone? After a fearful tour of the lower depths...
