Whether accomplished through seminars or Gen Ed sections, the teaching of prose exposition must include as much individual consultation between teacher and students as possible. Present sections often fail in this respect. While it may never be possible to institute individual conferences instead of sections (Harold Martin, Director of Gen Ed A, stresses that the number of personnel that can be recruited is limited) there is need for more individual consultation than now exists. Perhaps experiments in decreasing the number of sections per term in order increase time for student-instructor conferences would help strengthen teaching...
...rare unanimity was general awareness that Antarctic territorial claims have become hopelessly muddled: three out of the four active Soviet IGY bases are in Australian-claimed territory, and the peninsula claimed by the British under the name Graham Land is O'Higgins Land to the Chileans, and San Martin Land to the Argentines.

The Air Force's argument: an airborne ballistic missile like Bold Orion, mounted on a long-endurance B70 bomber, would provide instantaneous retaliation against aggression, from a missile base that would be difficult to pinpoint and knock out; it might also be used against enemy satellites or spaceships. ¶Next day an Army solid-fuel Nike-Zeus anti-missile missile streaked across the skies...
...Massachusetts team last week to spark an impressive Harvard victory, is expected to turn in good time, as are Ralph Perry and Jack Benjamin. Benjamin has a slight cold that may affect his running, but still remains a threat to the Indians. Sophomore Bob Knapp and captain Eddie Martin have overcome early-season injuries and add significantly to Crimson point potential...
