...temporary expedient could solve Ohio's problem. Only solution in sight is through the passage of enabling legislation by the rural-dominated General Assembly, which would allow Ohio's cities, now legally hog-tied, to raise sufficient taxes for relief. But the chance of Governor Bricker calling a special session this year, thus opening the floodgates to old-age pension bills, and possibly having the State treasury's handsome 1939 surplus swept away, was remote. This was what still kept the gossips gossiping...
...Justice". That magazine in its latest issue flays President Conant for approving an extra-curricular book-list which, it alleges, "bootlegs Communism into Harvard by the backdoor." Although the writings of Mr. Hicks are specifically cited in the article as illegal liquor, the Civilization Plan has gone the whole hog by asking the scholarly radical to lecture here...
...down payment of $1,200,000 and a balance of $2,300,000 to be financed later (probably by the U. S.

He outmaneuvered the silken Senator Nelson Aldrich on the tariff, forced substantial cuts, then watched the whole country go hog-wild over a headline which twisted a few forthright words in one of his speeches.

...problem from the point of view of a few departments taken at the present moment. Even if the College as a whole will have enough middle-groupers at some time in the blushing future, that does not help English, Government, or Biology now. The recent dismissals have hog-tied and rolled these departments. And the fact remains that--regardless of figures--this blow to education could have been avoided by a measure of flexibility in the appointment of associate professors and a willingness to appoint associates in some cases where predictable vacancies in the full professor rank are not ahead...
