...gloom couldn't be put out of mind. Some two weeks before the Princeton game, President Roosevelt, in a Fireside Chat, announced that he would shortly ask Congress to lower the draft age to 18. Several days before that, James Conant called for the "conversion" of Harvard to war-time status. According to his plan, soon to be adopted in modified form, Harvard and the other Ivy schools would cease providing "college" educations altogether, and devote themselves exclusively to training local high school graduates for Army and Navy duty...
...evening's gloom was somewhat relieved by Molly Maddox (Wheaton) with two numbers--Scarecrow and Subway. While amusing, the choreography was cliched and the whole not so much a ballet as a mediocre pantomime. Also amusing, though unoriginal were Phoebe Barnes and Christina Starobin in Miss Starobin's Phoebe and Christina Pal on Stage or, America Remembers Mary Heavtline. Unfortunately, the number was as over-long as is the title...

"Japanese business must start thinking seriously of countermeasures." As the Japanese see it, the repercussions of U.S. protectionism, both economically and politically, are unestimable...
...months about the impact of new draft rules lifting the exemptions of most graduate students next year (TIME, Nov. 24, 1967), but without any reliable estimate of just how hard they would be hit. Last week they had some solid figures to consider, and there was indeed cause for gloom. Based on the probability that almost all draftable men aged 22 through 25 will be called (the draft takes older eligibles first), a survey by the Council of Graduate Schools and the Scientific Manpower...
