...bright-eyed little Negro girl from Keyport, NJ. rolled into Manhattan with a high-school diploma in her hand, and an idea in her head that she would become a "high dramatic soprano." But the big time was hard to break into: Juanita Hall was 35 before she padded onto a Broadway stage as Bloody Mary, the betel-chewing Tonkinese mama in South Pacific (TIME, April 18) and stole a considerable piece of that smash hit from Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza...
...faculty men, secure in tenure appointments, are just worried. Certain faculties, notably those of the law and medical schools, are not even worried. But the younger faculty members and the graduate students, especially in the physics department are scared stiff. "We're afraid to open our mouths on any idea left of Wilsonian liberalism," one physics instructor says. Other young instructors have admitted that this attitude is wide-spread in the science departments.

The NSA's idea--to persuade selected stores to grant discounts to student card-holders in return for the resulting increase in trade--is an ingenious answer to the high cost of learning. It was tried out last year at the University of Buffalo with some success, and has been instituted in 17 other areas all over the country.

But surely some solution can be worked out to leave time for both races. Perhaps the idea of rowing Yale after commencement could be dropped. Any one of several solutions might do the trick...
Emphasizing student charities is a good idea. Each such charity will be listed as a separate item instead of receiving its funds from the Council's budget. PBH will also be listed separately instead of receiving its usual fixed percentage of the total. In case any of these do unexpectedly poorly, the Council plans to use the usually large unallocated funds as a leveling influence. The well-publicized national charities will appear as a single item at the bottom of the card. Students can fill in the particular charity they want to give...
