After thanking vice-President Reynolds for the "assistance and sincere co-operation" he had afforded them, the AVC group attacked the College's plan to get a $100,000 surplus from the Houses and dormitories for transfer to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and suggested that instead, surplus funds of the Department of Arts and Sciences be used to meet dormitory costs...
...anonymous author for 15 years of the often wise, often witty column, "Topics of The Times," Strunsky had a far-darting eye. In a single week, he looked at plays of violence, Dartmouth College, the Marshall Plan, Herodotus, New Mexico (from dinosaurs to A-bombs), "Pretty Boy" Floyd, Eastern potentates, bestsellers, babysitting, Eva Perón, the War Assets Administration and Existentialism.

Such a plan constitutes a direct menace to professional politicos like Sullivan, Foley, Sennott, and Neville. Their political futures demand an inoperative government and a continuing stalemate...
...need of overhauling. Any such revision of the school program can come only from the School Committee and for this reason alone the election of a Mayor is a matter that should be placed outside the realm of petty politics. Along with the general loss of prestige for Plan E, a more specific evil of this senseless stalemate is its crippling effect on the city's school system...
