...small part of the show is owned by Surrealist Dali and Julien Levy, who runs a high-brow Manhattan art gallery; most of it by a group of oldsters with Broadway experience. Never publicity-shy, Dali, who recently broke one of Bonwit Teller's Fifth Avenue show windows because Bonwit Teller tampered with his display, is at present berating the Fair because it would not let him exhibit, outside his nuthouse, a woman with the head of a fish. Merrily upping the publicity, Dali's Dream of Venus has sent out a long press release headed: "Is Dali...

That this possibility is not chimerical is shown by the present situation in the Department of Economics. In 1935-36 a large part of the undergraduate teaching in this department was being done by four assistant professors and eight faculty instructors--that is, by the experienced non-permanent members of the staff. Since that time a few of these men have gained permanent positions, others have departed for jobs elsewhere. In the meantime the intermediate ranks which they once occupied have not been filled. The result is striking: where there were four assistant professors and eight faculty instructors, there will...
