...matter what happens with these proposals for next semester, coed housing will probably become a large-scale reality within the next two years. A Faculty subcommittee chaired by Jerome Kagan, is investigating all aspects of coed housing before and after the merger goes through. They will make recommendations on how many houses should go coed, the ratios of men to women in coed housing, and many other detailed aspects of coed housing. Kagan will present a preliminary report to the Faculty in December or February...
...target date for the merger is September, 1970. Supposedly Curlier House, Radcliffe's fourth and fanciest house, will be completed at that time. Currier is looked on as a major step toward coed housing. Its separate entries and general comfort (similar to Mabel Daniels) will make it easier to attract men to Radcliffe. Unfortunately, as Mather House has taught us, it may be September, 1971, before Currier is actually fit for habitation. So far, however, Currier is on schedule...

Timbers ruled that the law bars only mergers that lessen competition and said that if the standard is to be changed, it ought to be done by Congress rather than the courts. Attorney General John Mitchell finds alarming the fact that the 200 largest U.S. companies control 58% of the manufacturing assets...
Government lawyers cannot appeal Judge Timbers' decision against an injunction, but they plan to pursue a separate suit filed against the merger three months ago, also in New Haven. ITT executives, who in the meantime will go ahead and take over Hartford Fire, are indignant over the Justice Department's determination to press the case. They say that the Hartford acquisition carefully adhered to the Johnson Administration's antitrust guidelines-and they do not like having the rules changed in the middle of the game...
