...seemed like a belated Christmas to Moye, it was all in the day's work for Humble's 58-year-old, lawyer-trained President Hines Holt Baker of Houston. In the blue-chip game of oil, gambling on wildcats is part of his business. Wildcatting has helped make Humble the No. 1 U.S. producer of crude oil, and more than doubled its output in a decade (from 49 million bbls. in 1940 to 103 million in 1950). It also helped Humble boost its net profit by 66% in 1951's first half, the latest report...
Shortly after Hurvitz and Segel closed their cram parlors, the publishing companies began proceeding against the Fairfax School for violation of copyright. With seven separate suits on his hands, filed by Macmillan, Harper, Holt, and others, Marcus Horblit '10 found it expedient to close his Fairfax bureau.

Both the porter and kitchen positions fall into the category of "priority jobs," a system that was instituted experimentally last spring and with which Holt is believed to have disagreed. Monro and Taylor have divided all jobs into two kinds--priority and casual. Priority jobs are roughly defined as those inside and outside the University which will net a student more than $100 a year. Right now most of the 500 priority jobs (300 inside the University, 200 outside) pay between $250 and $400. Some (nightwatchmen and night switch-board operators especially) earn as much...

A student who thinks he will need financial aid during the coming school year fills out a scholarship form listing his estimated expenses and resources for that year. In a typical case a student estimates that his expenses will be $1600, his resources from his family $1000. That leaves a difference--or as the Financial Aid men usually refer to it, a "gap"--of $600 which must be filled in if the student is to continue his education...
...casual" jobs are awarded solely on the basis of ability of availability. They encompass such familiar pursuits as baby-sitting, handling odd-jobs around local homes, and shoveling snow. They take in such esoteric--comparatively highly paid--occupations as draftsmen, translators, and entertainers. The entertainment bureau, one of Holt's prides, has been rather curtailed under Taylor...
