Professor Seymour Harris came up with a plan of his own, after concluding that every Harvard student would eventually join the Brahmins. Harris calculated that a college student would make $100,000 more than a non-college student, and could therefore afford to buy his education on credit, on a sort of learn now, pay later, basis. When speculation arose as to how he had arrived at the magic figure of $100,000, it was rumored that he had divided the annual Gross National Product by the number of Harvard students, and subtracted an odd number of Yalies...
...present demands that a Germany unified under free elections could be allowed to make any alliances it wants, (i.e. with NATO) are patently unacceptable to Russia. On the other hand, the West must insist on eventual free determination of an all-German government...
...main reason why no one should miss The Seventh Seal is that it is a masterfully constructed piece of cinematic art. The cast performs with high distinction; lighting, costumes, sets, and make-up evoke the late Middle Ages with the authenticity of a Durer woodcut; and the entry of the flagellants is surely one of the most appalling scenes ever filmed. But Bergman's Gothic allegory will also trouble audiences philosophically, for it retains its symbolic ambiguity to the end and will not permit a facile interpretation or glib dismissal of any sort. For the Eliot House Anglicans...
...fortunate enough to be sent to a school. If an RFA did not go to a school (e.g. cooking, photography, clerk-typist), he was sent directly to "On-the-Job-Training" (OJT). OJT was supposed to be for men, already proficient enough in their MOS (military occupation specialty) to make schooling unadvisable. Great numbers of RFA clerks, typists, and mechanics generally fall into this category. For the most part, these men "have it made," with frequent passes and privileges, such as having cars on post, but they often receive very little training. They generally spend their remaining four months...
...regular Army men who have enlisted for three or more years, and who make up the backbone of the peacetime Army, on the whole have great contempt for such a short hitch, and feel that the RFA would make a poor soldier if pressed into action now. Most RFA's themselves although very happy with the short tour of active duty, would agree that their six months' training has not given them enough preparation for a war situation, but most are optimists and believe that was is not very imminent. If they thought it were, most would not have committed...
