...second meeting in a row, the Student Council found itself plagued by indecision as it engaged in intricate parliamentary maneuvers, and finally adjourned after three and a half hours, passing a motion for an activity loan fund by one vote and approving the constitution of the Motorscooter Club...
Opposition Leader Hugh Gaitskell offered a motion to "postpone" the British test while Britain tried to get international agreement to halt all H-bomb tests. Leftist Richard Grossman, one of Labor's most brilliant and least predictable figures, urged renunciation not only of the H-bomb but of all nuclear weapons.

The other element is an electronic "Schuler pendulum" that always points toward the center of the earth, regardless of an aircraft's acceleration (speeding up or slowing down).* The unchanging gyroscope line...

Equally skilled is the choreography of Esther Brooks. She manages to keep the can-can, a dance which often involves more effort than it is worth, from degenerating into chaos. Musical Director John Perkins unfortunately demonstrates a less certain hand. The orchestra occasionally wobbles...
