Twelve or more hours a day, seven days a week in March and early April, advocates argue and re-argue their cases, votes are called, applicants are disposed of. As an advocate argues, the Dean pencils notes into his seven-inch thick loose-leaf filled with computer forms. In the notebook used by former admissions dean Fred L. Glimp two years ago, there are notes like "Yale son" in a circle, or "soccer" followed by two exclamation points. Next to each name is a red "A" for accept or a blue "R" for reject-or a red "A" crossed...
...while, CRIMSON editors treated their new quarters more kindly than successive generations would, and the paper was certainly kind to them in the first few successful years on Plympton Street. But it was too good to last, and the edition of April 5, 1917, announced with three-inch box-car headlines...
That's the secret, really. Don't write out "TIME." in inch-high scrawls-it only brings out the sadist in us. Don't (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read to us your illegible scrawls-we can (officially) read anything and we may be married...
...little in the genial teenage editor of the Boy Scout page of Utah's Deseret News in 1937 to foreshadow Anderson the persistent muckraker. Except diligence. Attending school in the morning, newspapering during his off-hours, Anderson wound up making more money-at 150 for each column inch that he got into print-than some of the full-time reporters. By the time he was 18, he was a full-fledged reporter for the Salt Lake City Tribune. Two years of missionary preaching (customary among young Mormons) through Georgia, Alabama and Florida, followed by a tour...
Thousands of Bits. Not only do the crystals have the advantage of simplicity of operation, but they could also be extremely compact computer components. In a recent demonstration at their Murray Hill, N.J., headquarters, the Bell scientists showed that a thin crystal, only one-tenth of an inch square, could carry 10,000 bits of information. Even the tiniest conventional computer circuitry, explained Bell Labs Vice President Jack A. Morton, is able to achieve only 10% of that density. In addition, the crystals need just a fraction of the power required by ordinary computers...
