...Innovations: alimony becomes deductible as an expense by ex-husbands who pay it, and becomes subject to tax by ex-wives who receive it; sickness is recognized as an expense, deductible up to $2,500 if extraordinary medical costs run to more than 5% of net income; small concession: returns under oath are no longer necessary...
...seven-week semesters as the Student Council suggested, thorough coverage and integration would be out of the question.

Full lecture and lab schedules could be retained, and tutorial integration distributed throughout the academic year...

Fifteen hours later, polishing off his whiskers like a pleased tomcat, John Barrymore emerged from the Hotel...
Both players suffered their injuries in last week's North Carolina Pre-Flight game, and neither has recovered as rapidly as was hoped. The net result is that Stan Durwood will take over where Hibbard left off at the tackle post, and Pete Garland will hold down Cumming's position. Bill Fisher, brother of first string center Jack Fisher, will be held in reserve as a replacement for Durwood, and Dana Dudley is scheduled to back up Garland...
