...Wilford G. Crane, a mere "10-watt amplifier bank clerk," once brilliantly undermined a wealthy "hifi bourgeois" with a gift of a single 78-r.p.m. disk. " 'It's Dajos Bela and Salon Orchestra, been looking for it for years. The way he plays these Hungarian Dances is beyond comparison. Finally found it on my last trip to Chicago. Some allowances you may have to make, but for 1933, don't you think the sound is spacious and resonant, eh?'

But "the record discloses that no restraint of trade has resulted. Accord ingly . . . there is not. . . any reasonable probability of such a restraint within the meaning of the Clayton...
...mere extra exam-time hours, then, is only a temporary solution. But such a plea has been repeatedly voiced in the last three years. The first real answer to it was the Lamont experiment at extra hours last exam period. When the administration announced this fall that it would again drop the plan, Stephen Reynolds '55 formed his Student Council committee to win back the extra time...
