...think these criticisms could stand further reflection. Brandeis is first of all a university--a school founded by the Jewish community "as a corporate contribution to American higher education." If, as a school, it has sought also to exemplify the more commendable aspects of "Americanism" but has not done so with stringent purity or absolute success I see no reason to interpret its efforts as hypocrisy. It may be wishful thinking for Brandeis to build a 2-1-1 chapel arrangement for a school with a present 12-1-1 religious ratio but it strikes me as anything but hypocritical...
That Brandeis students are cynical does not surprize me--they are assigned more Nietzsche than Locke; but that they too are hypocritical is an observation which (sirrah!) the record does not support. The student who told Mr. Rosenthal that she gives a higher figure for non-Jewish enrollment because it "sounds good" is just a patriot turned inside-dopester...
...building costs-and home prices -soar higher, prospective buyers are also taking a hard look at the equipment built into new houses.

But in the lower price brackets, more and more families would rather pay for space, buy the gadgets later. Built-in TV is no longer in such great demand; neither are built-in dishwashers, waste disposals or other extras...
...dying. To keep on building some 1,200,000 new houses annually, they must meet changing consumer needs and desires much in the same way Detroit's automakers turn out an annual model change. And like the automen, who quickly caught on to postwar yearnings for longer, lower, higher-horsepowered cars, so U.S. homebuilders must ask the man who owns one, and listen to his ideas...
...salaries of St. Paul's teachers ($3,300 to $5,300) were lower than those in any other big city in Minnesota. There had been no raises for three years, and while St. Paul was already short 169 teachers, those on hand were quitting for higher paid jobs elsewhere. How could the school board put through a $50-a-month raise when it was facing a $335,000 deficit? Last week the board seized upon a drastic solution that stunned the whole town...
