Excuses are dealt with just as arbitrarily. If the wretch attempts to explain that he never received the notice, an official looks at the file; and if a duplicate is found, the student is considered to have received his copy, all protests to the contrary. Lehman Hall must send accounts to 15,000 men, and of these only 400, or three percent, ever receive the drastic second notice. Yet there is no attempt to cover possible margins of error by sending a simple warning before slapping on a fine...
...Saltonstall Alumni Committee to decide upon a Student Activities Center as Harvard's war memorial, College opinion must first find authentic crystal-clear expression. This week's Student Council survey of organizational rank-and-file is a step in the right direction: it presents an opportunity for the groups to break through a special apathy of their own and speak out.

...jokesmith of his day is a six-foot gag-&-stunt machine named Milton Berle (rhymes with churl). His 38-year-old brain is a tight-packed file of some 50,000 jokes and japes. With never-miss efficiency, Berle can dip into these mental files, yank out just the gag he wants when he wants it. The "Thief of Badgags" (as spiteful rivals call him), who has probably lured more people into nightclubs than any performer alive, is now making his sixth attempt in 18 years to lure listeners to their radios with a Berle show...
