...school, but a student's choice of major-assuming he has met minimum science requirements-has no bearing. Writes Author Dean K. Whitla, director of Harvard's office of tests: "It would be regrettable if some of our students who plan to become doctors felt that they must turn away from their interest in the liberal arts for fear of being rejected at medical school without a premedical major." Surprise of the study: at Harvard Medical School, premed-prepared students do better the first year, but by the third year they fall slightly behind students who majored...
Orbit Geography. The Discoverers will be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), Florida's Cape Canaveral has the wrong geography for polar orbits. If a satellite launcher is aimed either north or south from the cape, it must pass over densely populated areas while still in the dangerous early stages of its flight. The nearest land south of Vandenberg is the Pitcairn Island group in the South Pacific, more than 4,000 miles away...

We will never disappoint the party in its earnest hopes and will strive to accelerate the building of socialism and to realize mankind's noblest ideal-Communism-in our generation and by our own hands." To millions of hand-blistered Chinese students, the last phrase must ring with ironic accuracy. For much of the impetus in China's "Year of the Leap" (TIME, Dec. 1) has come from daily sessions of mind and muscle-numbing physical labor by the nation's students, who work before and after classes and often during class hours...
