...Cover) Outside a tidy hangar just northwest of Palm Beach's International Airport hangs a neatly lettered sign: PRIVATE KEEP OUT. The rest of the sign, if the busy men inside bothered to spell it out, could read: SPORTSMEN AT WORK.

When Archie Alexander, a lifelong Republican, landed one day last week in pastel-painted Charlotte Amalie, the sign on the hangar that says "Harry S. Truman Airport" was tactfully shrouded by a big welcome banner. Next day Alexander, a Negro contractor from Des Moines, climbed up on the back seat of a crimson Chevrolet convertible and headed a brass-band parade up the Kronprindsensgade (Crown Prince Street) and down the Dronningensgade (Queen Street). At the Emancipation Garden where the Danes* freed their slaves in 1848, he was sworn in as the first Republican governor of the Virgin Islands...

Architect Saarinen's auditorium is as simple and modern as an airplane hangar; he sees it as a huge, concrete shell, one-eighth of a sphere, planted on the ground at three points. Advantages of the triangular dome, according to Saarinen: speaker and audience seem closer together, space and materials are saved. Inside the auditorium are two levels, a lower for a small theater, an upper for a large, 1,200-seat hall in which students will sit under a sky of white, sound-reflecting "clouds" hung from the dome.
