...Reading Test. Required of all Freshmen. This is, as the pamphlet says, "A test to estmate reading skills." Don't worry, you can't fail, and it doesn'r really matter. If you don't do well, the University will recommend that you take a worthwhile reading comprehension course at the Bureau of Study Council. So the ends of this test are kindly, but the means are a drag.

...bring some poetry into painting. That was in. many ways one of the chief effects of the Surrealist movement launched in 1924 by Andre Breton's "Surrealist Manifesto."

Leape and Robert J. Ginn Jr., of the OCS-OCL, say, "Our observation is that over 50 per cent of Harvard-Radcliffe College alumni are pursuing careers which have no direct connection with their undergraduate field of study. Concentrations at Harvard are not designed to prepare you for a career." Leape said she thinks the main purpose of a concentration is "exploring a central area of knowledge." She added that...
...Stacy pushes open the door into the clinic building, Gilmartin presses some pamphlets into her hand. One, with color photographs of discarded fetuses, has big black words: HUMAN GARBAGE. "Did you know this is how big you were when you were only eleven weeks old?" the pamphlet asks. "From then on you breathed [fluid], swallowed, digested and urinated ... No new organs began functioning after that. You just grew more mature...
