Taunting, Tempting. The works span a narrow spectrum from the formal purity of Ellsworth Kelly and Al Held to the geometric surrealism of George Ortman (see color). Kelly's naked statements of form are bland on the surface; yet he clashes colors like cymbals to drive the viewer's eye into more tranquil corners. Al Held boldly ladles as many as 30 layers of plastic Liquitex paint onto his huge canvases to spell out alphabets in monumental bulk. Slowly, as if one had stared for minutes at any word until it became meaningless, the letters cease being acceptable...
Despite Le Corbusier's grand conception, the Unite d'Habitation has been only a partial success. The apartments, arranged as duplexes, have 15-foot-high living rooms opening on four-foot-deep balconies.

"Luckily," says petite Margarete, "Mother is just like me." Leaving nothing to chance, Meixner also let air out of his tires to lower the car. Shortly after midnight, Meixner drove to the entrance of the frontier...
...Administrative Vice-President of RGA, pointed out, the organization's success depends on the realization that the administration is not interfering in student legislation--instead students are advising in administrative decisions. Even after accepting this fact, many students continue to prefer student legislation in more clear-cut, through narrow fields to the "joining of the minds" in the broad areas on which RGA advises. One reason is that a student council is generally less dependent on the cooperation of the administration...
