Under the new law, these practices will go out. Some judges and lawyers have been in opposition on the grounds that the technical nature of many cases puts them beyond the understanding of the average or below-average intelligence. Nonetheless, the new rules impose only a minimum test of literacy and knowledge of English-the idea apparently being that the jury system has long rested its ultimate faith in man's common sense, a quality that is not necessarily limited to the educated...
...your feature article of the 15th. Looking up "Marine Navigation" in the catalogue, it is stated that it mainly duplicates Astronomy 2. Why no move to get rid of Astronomy 2 as a credit course?

...migrant workers, have been subjected for generations. Thus far, nine of the valley's largest growers-most notably, Schenley Industries, Di Giorgio Corp., the Gallo Winery and Christian Brothers-have signed contracts with the N.F.W.A., elevating a laborer's average pay from $1.10 an hour to a minimum of $1.75.

Even with such sales, NCR still has only about a 2% share of the U.S. computer market v. the overwhelming 70% held by IBM. To narrow the gap, and to climb a few steps over other computer makers, Oelman has set what he calls a "minimum sales quota" of 5,000 Centurys worth $1 billion to be sold or rented during the next five years (initial orders last week: 208). One way NCR hopes to meet the quota is through improved technology. The company's laboratories have developed a new kind of memory system, which uses thin-film rods...
