...breasted exposure in Harper's Bazaar, and now doing penance in the form of a needlepoint sampler that reads NUTS TO YOU ("For Mother," she explained). For dancing, there was Society Bandleader Meyer Davis ($7,500 for four hours of music-$1,000 per hour overtime); for super glamour there were the Prince and Princess of Windisch-Graetz, Lady Sassoon, the Earl of Hardwicke, Baroness Peggy de Gripenberg, four U.S. Senators and two people named Connie and Nonnie van Vlaanderen. By rough count, the crew added up to 850 sparkling personalities, all of whom last week jammed onto little...
Intellectual Compact. All this got Oakland into trouble from the start. Students looking forward to the glamour of college complained that no-frills Oakland was "a very lonely place, like a concrete cell." It was even lonelier after the first quarter, when one grade out of every six was an F. Though the school magnanimously allowed flunkers to repeat courses-and hence got charged with junking its intellectual aims-nearly 400 of the original freshman class of 570 have dropped out.

An Albuquerque blood bank is selling a $5 gift certificate that is good for all the emergency transfusions a family might need in a year. Abercrombie & Fitch has a beer-can launcher ($24.95) for men who like to combine their shooting with their drinking...
Halfbacks: Ernie Davis, 21, Syracuse; 6 ft. 2 in., 212 Ibs. Ronnie Bull, 21, Baylor; 6 ft., 198 Ibs. Elusive Halfback Davis, the "glamour boy of college football," is likely to be the National Football League's No. 1 draft choice. "He can run over you or away from you," reads one glowing report. "He takes a beating every week and still comes back for more." Although he has been handicapped this season by a back injury, Bull is also regarded as a top pro prospect, a "smart player of the Frank Gifford type, who twists off tacklers...
