...still on the job dug deeper, came up with exactly the same as last year's total: $67,000. In jittery Detroit, Ford's workers boosted their average contribution from $20.02 to $24.35. Northrop Aircraft's payrollers in Los Angeles raised their contribution to the local A.I.D. chest from $269,000 last year to $307,000 this fall. So it went in Fort Wayne, Ind., Seattle, Cincinnati, Beaumont, Texas-a total of 162 cities now running 2.3% ahead of last year despite the first-half recession. United Community Campaigns Chairman Carrol M. Shanks confidently predicted that total...
With the state's "massive resistance" laws ready to topple in the courts and with powerful Virginia editors looking for a way out (TIME, Nov. 24), able Lawyer Almond came close to admitting that Virginia might have to come up with a local-option school plan.

In Rogers City, the local radio operator got the Mayday flash. The awful word spread throughout the town.

...universities themselves? The universities certainly would profit. "A rise of $500 in tutition made possible substantially by an adequate loan program," Harris says, "would double salaries and re-establish the economic status of faculty at a level commensurate with the attraction of talent." There is one local drawback, however. If private business is not interested in taking on the program (which seems likely, since inflation would probably deplete much of the profit), the alternative suggested is the federal government. These two words are anathema at University Hall, because there is a tradition of fear of federal meddling in the autonomous...
...economist charged that the landgrant colleges "seem to want not only a virtual monopoly of state and local tax power but also of Federal tax money." Although Harris does not oppose "some increase in Federal aid," he noted that "the Federal Government has serious responsibilities that cannot be otherwise financed," whereas tuition can be financed in other ways...
