...guidance could be given either individually or in small sections. Following the plan of the Freshman Seminars, these programs would not be given within departments, but would be free to cross department lines if necessary.

All told, in the first eight months, the combined profits of the nation's major airlines were only $930,000, a startling drop from earnings of $46,539,000 for the same period in 1959. The decline had a variety of causes. Although revenues for the airlines were up 9% this year, the cost of depreciating the expensive new jets shot up 27.8% and ate up profits. Operating expenses were up 16%, largely because of the increased...
