...strike drags on any longer. For the workers, living on a $30 a week union allowance, the weeks ahead and the upcoming holiday season leave little to be thankful for. For the students, more weeks of the strike mean more discomfort and disruption of their educations. Sen. George McGovern (D.S.D.) and Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall have acted wisely in cancelling speeches at Yale recently, to avoid crossing union picket lines; that students were unable to hear them is the fault of the unyielding Yale administration...

The Special Committee on Aging was made a permanent Senate special committee by a unanimous vote on the Senate floor (a few Senators, however, abstained).

Kennedy '54 (D.-Mass.) and others fought to extend the Nutrition Committee on a year-by-year basis, as had been done in the past. Nutritions ranking minority member Charles Percy...
...Senate reacted to its own, as well as to the nation's, sense of shock; that year, George McGovern introduced S. Res. 281 to create a Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs. On July 30, 1968, the resolution was brought to the Senate floor by Sen. Joseph Clark (D.-Pa.) from the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare with the committee's recommendation in favor of creating the Select Committee. The resolution passed by voice vote...
