...Steers." Hardly any of these accomplishments came about in an air of easy cooperation and harmony. There was a fight, of one kind or another, almost every step of the way. In Indiana politicians and citizens alike take clear sides on almost every public issue. Hoosiers have a scornful label for the men who try to be neutral in a good political fight: "Political steers...
...stereotypes that cause them are destroyed. At the present rate, rather than dying out, the stereotypes cannot help perpetuating themselves. A student who enters a House hoping to find a party atmosphere, for example, will naturally help liven the festive air already there. Freshmen who dislike a House's label because they do not fit it will apply else-here. Housemasters, even those seeking varied composition, are largely limited to students who apply either as first, second, or third choice. So a House's atmosphere, at first derived from Master, tutors, and upperclassmen, is reinforced by its appeal to certain...
What does hi-fi mean in the home? Manufacturers are mass-producing record players which they label hifi, to the indignation of dedicated audio fans, who insist on buying components separately (the fanciest equipment stores feature elaborate switching panels, so that customers can compare components on the spot). It is next to impossible, the dedicated argue, to buy a real high-fidelity rig in one box-the limited speaker enclosure will probably cause a booming bass or fuzzy drum rolls, and up to half of the price goes for cabinetry instead of equipment. The best buys among the package units...
Full of foreboding, C.I.O. President Walter Reuther* stepped before the Joint Committee on the Economic Report in Washington last week to talk about the future. As far as Reuther could see, the horizon was cloudy-and the blackest clouds of all bore the label "automation." Citing the example of an automatic engine-block assembly line on which 41 workers now do a job that once required 117, Reuther foresaw the day when "entire plants, offices or departments in much of industry and commerce will be operated by electronic control mechanisms." The Administration, he cried, had better do something now about...
Yearning Readers. England's eagerest astronauts, the slide-rule devotees of the British Interplanetary Society, hoot at the book's "scientific" label. Politely, they suggest that Author Allingham has a highly susceptible imagination or that somebody has elaborately hoaxed him. But Allingham, now undergoing lung treatment at a Swiss sanatorium, cares little if critics point out that saucer pictures have been faked in the past with lampshades, garbage-can covers and trapshooting targets tossed in the air. Such books as his apparently answer a deep and widespread yearning for marvels...
