This is not to suggest carte blanche for the students to set up their own dictatorship; but it does demand at least a continuing dialogue among students, faculty and administration--and it rejects the concept of government by arbitrary fiat, the regulations changing every other week to fit the moment's expediency. And it does suggest a very basic question: Who represents the heart and core of any university--the faculty and students, or the administration...
...third argument against a series of distribution requirements uses past experience to attack its underlying assumptions. Proponents of the plan believe, first, that students will seek a breadth of education without fiat, and, second, that faculty members will voluntarily give up departmental time to create and teach optional Gen Ed courses. But the recent history of Gen Ed shows that students who are not majoring in science simply do not take "hard" lab sciences voluntarily. Nor do professors in the scientific fields offer Gen Ed courses which would appeal to the non-concentrator. (There are virtually no upper level...
...Europeans, such as Count Vega del Ren and the Baron de Rede. Mary and Sonny Whitney dropped by on their way up from their place in Lexington, Ky. (horses), to their place in the Adirondacks (hunting). Prince Paul of Yugoslavia and Princess Maria Pia, the Porfirio Rubirosas, and the Fiat-fortunate Gianni Agnellis were on hand. Onetime silent screen star Hope Hampton, who has been making opening-night scenes as long as most people can remember, was there in $3,000 worth of white beads; Mrs. F.

Most difficulties, however, are due to simple bureaucracy. The Belgian license plate is too large for the plate holder of the small Italian Fiat 600, and Belgian importers must jerry-build other arrangements. Belgium's single-faced grocery scales, on the other hand, are so far illegal in Germany, where the law requires two-faced scales for merchant and customer. German automobiles must be fitted with yellow headlights when they are exported to France, but the French must put white headlights on their own cars before exporting them. One of the most complicated problems is that of standardizing electrical...
Died. Henri Pigozzi, 66, founder and recently retired chairman of France's Simca, an Italian-born onetime Fiat salesman who set up his own factory in France in 1934, went on to become the enfant terrible of the French auto industry by taking over third place (behind Renault and Citroen) with his bargain-priced ($1,200) Aronde sedan, by forbidding his workers to join the national unions, and by merging with Ford's French subsidiary in 1954 and subsequently selling the controlling interest to Chrysler in 1963; of a heart attack; in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France...
