With elections ever closer, Congress has increasingly humbled itself in a vain effort to please everyone. And the resulting advancement of sectional and group interests has made coherent planning impossible. With its treasury tax bill reduced by almost two billions, the $25,000 limit on personal income discarded, and effective price ceiling hamstrung by a fifty per cent cut in OPA funds, the administration anti-inflation program forms a striking case in point.

The sparse, turn-out for spring dances showed that the Houses were supplying more dances than the student market would bear, and any Freshman in Ec A could have predicted the resulting loss. If authorized to limit the number of major dances and to promote occasional inter-House combinations, the new Committee can do the job which the Council...
