...Radford proposes to cut the U.S. armed forces from 2,800,000 to 2,000,000 in the next four years. The Army and Navy, said the report (correctly), would absorb most of the manpower slash. All three service chiefs, the story went on, are in revolt against Radford (incorrect: the Air Force's General Nathan F. Twining is with him, the Army's General Maxwell Taylor and the Navy's Admiral Arleigh Burke against). So torrid is the battle, wrote Leviero, that all discussions of the manpower program have been postponed until after the election...

The Christian Fellowship, an extremely unrepresentative, largely fundamentalist group, is used to represent Protestant students on campus, and is compared with Hillel and the Catholic Club. For the second...
...University Hall's administrators, however, the card has an entirely different purpose. Rather than enable estimates of course size, the cards should make students consider their plans and talk them over with their advisers and tutors, claim the officials. On the incorrect assumption that bureaucrats want what they ask for, students frequently produce the study card but neglect the planning and discussion. Tutors aid the subversion of the card's aim by signing whatever tutees push at them, sometimes even blank study cards, without questions...
