In democratic fashion, the college last month submitted the issue to a student referendum. Duly reflecting the results, the faculty then voted to abolish ROTC over a four-year period so that incoming freshmen who are counting on miltary scholarships will not be penalized. The plan did not satisfy a radical minority led by members of Students for a Democratic Society. Calling for the immediate abolition of ROTC, they vowed to stage "an act of civil disobedience...

With the new nude look in fashions, the flimsiest pretext of a dress will do-but only on a girl with a figure worth seeing through to and with nerve enough to let the world see through to it. If she has the right shape and attitude, she can get away with anything from a bra and gypsy waistcoat to a blouse woven wholly out of cobwebs. Guardians of morality may frown in disfavor, girl friends may shriek in outrage and envy...
