...percent living on campus have a choice of three dormitories--Hartley, Livingston, and John Jay--which house a total of 1,600 men and whose physical appearance more closely resembles a modern apartment-house project than an Ivy League dormitory. As high as ten stories, the Halls are combined residences and student activities center: the fourth floor of John Jay is home of the undergraduate publication. With more than 500 students living in a single hall, the Dean's Office is presented with an almost insoluble parietal rules problem. But the Columbia administration has found the simplest solution--one which...
Although some of its member unions have endorsed presidential candidates in recent elections, the American Federation of Labor has not done so since 1924, when its Executive Council supported Bob La Follette on a third-party ticket.

The delegates who had given Ike a tepid reception now whistled and shouted, "Pour it on, Steve." With the Stevenson speech over, the A.F.L. Executive Council recommended that federation members support Adlai Stevenson for the presidency...
...this [campaign] season, Republican candidates are even forgiven for whispering that there could be a better law than the Taft-Hartley Act . . . This is indeed a truly remarkable interval, a sort of pause in the Republican occupation, and I've often thought that it might well be called the liberal hour. I think it should never be confused with any period when Congress is in session...
