While Russian troops were parading through Red Square in Moscow yesterday, their sympathizers halfway around the world had already completed their May Day festivities. Wellosley College girls, in the most flagrant example of eastern college radicalism over displayed, ran their hoop race on the day before the sinister first...
Last Wednesday Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced a new policy for the National Military Establishment which, if properly carried out, will greatly increase the chances for interesting and skilled jobs for Negroes in the armed forces, thus correcting one of the most flagrant faults of military policy.

Authors of flagrant examples of careless writing--grotesque grammar, bizarre vocabulary, murky syntax-- should be reported without compunction to the Faculty Committee on the Use of English by Students. The Committee exists in order to take care of just such people. In the past it has received so little business that you would...
