...sabbatical in the Fall of '63, he was replaced not by George Hamlin, assistant director of the Loeb, but by Seltzer. Seltzer was on the faculty, which probably explains why he got the temporary post and Hamlin didn't. Seltzer's ideas about integrating the Loeb into the educational process -- with credit and non-credit courses for undergraduates -- had slowly gained strong support from several influential Faculty Committee members. Seltzer made it immediately clear that as director of the Loeb he would see some of his plans put into execution, at least in miniature. He said he hoped to speed...
...Davis Cup competition, the Brazilian and U.S. teams played in last month's South American championships at Buenos Aires. The tournament was won by Texas' Cliff Richey, 19, the U.S.'s No. 3-ranked player-behind Dennis ("the Menace") Ralston and Arthur Ashe; in the process, Richey beat both of Brazil's Davis Cuppers, Thomaz Koch, 21, and Edison Mandarine, 25.

Painstaking prying into rabbits' habits has revealed that their territorial boundaries are staked out by the dominant male in each group. In a process called "chinning," he brushes his chin over twigs and stones on land that he claims; a gland in his chin deposits a distinctive scent that makes his own group feel at home but warns away outsiders. By simulating these scents, the Australians hope to ring pasture lands with odors that will keep marauding rabbits out. False chin trails may lead the unsuspecting animals directly to poisoned bait...
