Though he prefers keeping research and teaching under one roof, Chicago's Chancellor Beadle is impressed by the system in Britain, where medical research units work off-campus, "free of teaching chores and administration overhead." One fervent advocate of expanding the U.S. centers is Physicist Alvin M. Weinberg, onetime researcher at the University of Chicago and now director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Worried that universities are being invaded by "Big Science," which turns professors into "operators" frantically "spending money instead of thought," Weinberg suggests that new technical universities and graduate schools be clustered around the centers...
...said that during rehearsals conductor Iva Dee Hiatt (of Smith College) called forth this attitude by fervent references to her home institution and its undergraduates' most exuberant moments (an invitation from Yale, etc.).

Huge, noisy election rallies filled town after town, as Moslems crowded to hear about this week's referendum, which is creating an independent Algeria "associated" with France. The fervent speeches were generally unheard in the shouting, music and indiscriminate firing in air-the traditional means of expressing high spirits in North Africa. Roads were blocked by cars whose horns blared out the six-count beat of "Algérie algérienne," instead of the hated five-count "Algerie française" of the European Secret Army...
