...hope that our ideas will be judged primarily by educational criteria, but the political and economic implications of our plan are worth considering. We find them exciting. For example, the most striking of our recommendations are probably the three-year A. B. program and the flexible course load. Consider the implications for admissions and scholarship policies: with from fifteen to twenty per cent ( our estimate ) of the students in the Colleges leaving a year earlier than they normally do now, many rooms are made available for women and other groups that are under-represented in the student body.

When the stagger system begins at the high school next July, it should keep down the number of idle, trouble-prone teenagers who tend to congregate on the streets during the warm months. Says Thomas Mandeville, father of a Valley View pupil: "The kids used to get bored with summer and restless with the long school year. Breaking it up is good for them. It's good for us too."

Pan Am has a poor 54% passenger break-even load factor v. 48% for TWA. Salvation through the merger route is improbable, as Halaby now concedes. What healthy domestic line would want to team up with a troubled giant? The chance of Government help is also a long shot, mostly because of congressional opposition. The CAB could award Pan Am some domestic feeder routes, but most domestic runs are already overcrowded...
