...Spitz should have snapped out of it. At last week's Santa Clara International Invitational Meet, the Indiana University freshman entered three events and tied records in each of them: 1) his own world mark of 55.6 sec. in the 100-meter butterfly; 2) the American record in the 100-meter freestyle (52.6 sec.); 3) Don Schollander's world mark in the 200-meter freestyle (1 min. 54.3 sec.).

Today the sect is virtually extinct, since Mother Ann regarded sex as a device of the devil and Shaker "brothers" and "sisters" lived in separate dormitories. Their only mutual recreation was prayer meetings, at which they sang hymns and "shook" together in frenzied dances that must have looked like Saturday night at the Electric Circus...
Rules for Riots. Tactics in other states range from mere admonition to measures of sharp severity. Indiana's legislature passed no new laws, but Governor Edgar D. Whitcomb officially reminded trustees in the state university system that they may be replaced if they do not back up the Governor's "respectful demand" for absolute compliance with existing laws...
