Drive-In. In Anderson, Ind., the Beeman Gravel Co. bought space in the Bulletin, to say: "All persons using our drive as a lovers' lane, kindly observe these rules: participants park on the right,, spectators on the left...
...wife, two children, and I live in the Harvard housing development known as Shaler Lane. We have just received notice that rents are being raised to about $84.00 per month. Our heating bill averages $20.00 per month. Thus the cost of having a place to live is over $100.00 per month. I find it incredible that a university of the stature of Harvard should not only not subsidize housing for its students in general, and its married students in particular, but that it should charge rents beyond the capacity of many students. Surely Harvard does not assume that everyone seeking...
...student-customers, their captive patrons. Suggestions from undergraduates are welcome--in fact, Sunday night's blueberry pancakes were suggested by a group of Lowell House members. Other indications of likes and dislikes are considered. "We found the Student Council poll very helpful in determining undergraduate preferences and tastes," Mr. Lane claims.

...mainly of the 6th Infantry Regiment, and the British and French account for the rest of an Allied garrison of about 11,000 troops. To supply them, the U.S. runs two to three convoys per week-three to ten trucks in each convoy-over the 110-mile, four-lane Autobahn between the border check point of Helmstedt, and Berlin (see map). The British send in about one convoy a week, and the French about one a month. The West Germans, in a thriving trade with 2,300,000 West Berliners and West Berlin industries, send some 14,000 truckloads over...
...column through the roadblocks with U.S. tanks. No such plan gets serious consideration in the Pentagon. Reason: an armored column or train would be not only a diplomatic fiasco -in that the U.S. would seem to make the first warlike move-but a military absurdity as well. The four-lane Autobahn snakes along over no fewer than 29 vulnerable bridges, among them the quartermile span over the Elbe River, still only half replaced since its total destruction by Allied bombers in World War II; the railroad has 49 bridges. Destruction of a single bridge or a short stretch of rail...
