Sahl still spends much of his life in motor cars (he owns three); once a friend borrowed his Lincoln and found in it a huge pile of magazines, dirty laundry and $5,000 in cash. He dates beautiful women sporadically (Actresses Nancy Olsen, Haya Hayareet), has almost outgrown the starlet stage and has outlived a two-year romance with Actress Phyllis Kirk. Sometimes he prefers the company of carhops and waitresses ("Yes, I've worked that beat, too").

Wilson has already outgrown the part of Commons originally allotted to it, and another hall is now being converted for its use. Dean Lippincott says that if demand exceeds the space in the new Quad, more buildings will be built or existing space converted to meet the needs. It is conceivable that in the future--say in ten years--a majority of Princeton will be living in such Quad arrangements, though no-one is willing to hazard...
