Dean Bundy Tuesday told the Student Council to take the parictal rules petition, which now bears the signatures of 1130 upperclassmen, to the Administrative Board and the committee of Housemasters and Senior Tutors. He indicated, however, that many Faculty members will frown upon another rules change "so soon" after the last one, which came three years...
There was not a baggy suit among the lot of them, or a frown, when twelve visiting Russian farm officials showed up at the Department of Agriculture last week for an appointment with Secretary Ezra Taft Benson.

At worst, her hardbitten prose is that of an obsessive governess threatening children with hellfire; at best, it expresses an energetic mind absorbed in the pursuit of common sense and justice. In A Train of Powder Author West examines with Old Testament sternness some recent efforts to bring malefactors before...
