Another reason for the diminishing band is the steadily increasing study load at the College. Nearly all undergraduate organizations, have felt the academic squeeze, which has become a permanent fact of Harvard life. With academic responsibilities growing, more and more students have decided that they can't devote precious time to activities, and particularly to ones which make such a point in having...
...With an eye on the success of the automatic laundry, appliance makers have produced a dry-cleaning machine that operates on the same coin-in-the-slot, done-while-you-wait system as the automatic washer. The new machines can take an 8-lb. to 10-lb. load (for example: two skirts, three sweaters, a wool dress, a child's snowsuit, a woman's jacket and a man's jacket), dry-clean the works for $1.50 to $2. Average price for the same job at a standard dry cleaner's: $8.35. Twenty-three U.S. appliance makers...
...link. Cross-Channel transport of cars, which had been expected to rise by 30% in the past three years, actually rose 54%; where there were 5,750,000 cross-Channel passengers in 1957, current estimates are that there will be 11,400,000 in 1965. To handle this mounting load by present means, Britain alone would have to spend $56 million for new ferries, ports, planes and airfields in the next five years. By contrast, the proposed British contribution to a tunnel would be $73 million-and a tunnel would not wear out as do planes and ferries. And where...
...Glenn Seaborg sees it. the U.S.S.R. probably had several good nonpolitical reasons for testing. Among them: to reduce the weight of Russia's large and clumsy atomic warheads, thus getting more punch for a small load; to improve the range and effectiveness of Soviet battlefield atomic weapons; to test entire weapons systems by mating new warheads to missiles; and to conduct "proof" tests of weapons already in the Soviet stockpile. The current test series is almost certainly providing the Russians with valuable data for development of small-and medium-yield weapons, an area where they have been weak...
...Halaby, who has missed the last four games because of a leg injury, returns to the squad this week. Mike Bassett and Humenuk are expected to carry the load against the Tigers, however. Halaby, who distinguished himself as Ivy Back of the Week after the second game (against Cornell), is not expected to be strong enough by Saturday. But one never knows...
