...Barbara Ann Scott, one "P.B.," writing in the obscure Le Bonheur of Trois Rivières, Que., had kind words: "I am ready to believe that this young girl is a model of virtue, modesty, discretion and grace." But for Barbara Ann's clothes and capers, and for figure-skating in general, fuddy-duddy "P.B." had only scorn. Last week L'Action Catholique, official mouthpiece of Quebec's Roman Catholic archdiocese, picked up his words, gave them wide (circ. 83,000) circulation...
...National Bureau of Standards, is involved in commercial anthropometry. His job, he said, is to set up scientific size standards for the clothing industry. So far, he has had poor cooperation. Clothiers, particularly women's dress manufacturers, refuse to face anthropometric facts. They persist in designing garments on "model forms" which have little resemblance to real female bodies.

Stanford's system, however, should not be taken as a sacred model for this university. It might be unwise to separate creative writing from the study of literature to the extent of allowing students to write a novel as a doctoral thesis. Rather, creative writing should be a unit within the English Department, with a teaching staff chosen for their ability to teach students writing. The close and healthy relationship between writing and reading should still be preserved in the department, and with it should exist an awareness on the part of the administration that the University is fulfilling...
