Today's meeting, which will focus on the use of police, follows a closed meeting held last night between students and administration leaders. Glimp, Archie C. Epps, assistant dean of the College, and F. Skiddy von Stade '38, dean of freshmen, met in Weld with John D. Hanify '71, president of the HUC, Donald J. Gogel '71, Chairman of the HRPC, Charles E. Schumer '71, president of the Young Democrats, and Raines...
...Better Focus. To obtain their proof, Stephen Little of the University of Texas and Astronomer Ronald Schorn of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory turned to the same kind of tools that they and other scientists had previously used in attempts to detect Martian water: the telescope and the spectrograph, which breaks light into its rainbow (spectrum) of colors and records it on a photographic plate. With the aid of a $100,000 NASA grant, mirrors had just been refinished on the 82-in. McDonald telescope, bettering its focusing by a factor of three. The optics of the spectrograph had also been...
...fumble sheepishly for words when they realize that he is, indeed, Winston Spencer Churchill II, grandson of Sir Winston.

In the six days before the U.S. parachute drop, four firefights broke...
Washington, of course, would like him to keep his troops in Viet Nam, so Exercise Focus Retina was set up to show Park that reinforcements could be moved swiftly from the U.S. to South Korea if needed. It may have succeeded too well. The South Korean army already guards all but 18 miles of the 151-mile frontier with North Korea. South Korean officials were impressed with the speed of the U.S. airlift. But they are now worried that the U.S. may try to pull some of its forces out of Korea on the grounds that in any emergency...
