...that they must be stowed in the coat compartment. Coeds have been barred from boarding with stuffed shopping bags, and hippies have faced a similar rebuff. Last week a teen-ager headed for San Francisco in Levi's, sweatshirt and bare feet painted bright red approached a TWA gate in Chicago. "You can't get aboard," ruled the agent, "unless you wash your feet-and put on some shoes...
Whatever a Japanese student's goal, the good life beckons the moment he gets past the narrow entrance-examination gate. Since the accent is on rote memorization of facts, a student can always cram to pass a test and he has to be atrociously uninterested to flunk out.

Handcuffs clicked as marshals corralled their captives, left behind in the abortive assault on the doors. Bloodstains clotted in rusty trails into...
...stood on the sidewalk in front of the Great Gate at Trinity College, Cambridge, and waited for an arrival who was already 14 minutes overdue, Trinity Master Lord Butler was somewhat bemused by his position. "It is the first time I have met a student here," he remarked to bystanders. Moments later, a red Mini pulled up and the gangly frame of Prince Charles unfolded from the tiny car. After much public debate in Britain over the proper education of the heir apparent, the Prince of Wales had come to Cambridge to finish his formal schooling. Though...
