...would thus seem that Mrs. Bunting has chosen the worst possible method for meeting rising costs. Her proposed change will not only change the style of life, but also drastically increase the expenses, of a large proportion of the students. On the other hand, the budget must be balanced, and the students that cost the most should pay the most. Those girls that "don't want to have anything to do with the dorms," as one Cliffie stated, should not forget that their ability to live in a homey atmosphere is currently financed at a loss to the College...
...strike was the result of a lack of communication, a breakdown of the collective bargaining process. Until this year this method of negotiation between the Transit Authority and the TWU had never really been used. In the past, New York's Democratic mayors had made behind-the-scenes deals with Michael J. Quill, president and founder of the TWU. Though settlement was reached before the deadline, Quill was permitted to continue with his strike threats up to the last minute so that the city could justify wage increases under the pretense of saving the city from a walkout...
...Continent, the philosophical revolt took a different form. Germany's Edmund Husserl developed a "descriptive science" that he called phenomenology.

The existentialists, on the other hand, continue to ask large-size questions, but because of their man-centered approach they are indifferent to systematic thinking. Thus, for both movements, a question such as "What is truth?" becomes impossible to answer. The logical positivist would say that a particular statement of fact...
Teaching Conception. How to help supposedly infertile couples conceive has always been among Dr. Masters' major concerns. As a result of his physiologic research, Dr. Masters has developed a gratifyingly successful method. Husband and wife must both agree to remain under treatment for at least a year. Dr. Masters and Psychologist Johnson start from the assumption that many couples "don't know where babies come from"-or at least don't know how they're made...
