Some student and graduate clubmen howled in protest. The sophomores were infringing upon the clubs' "basic right of selectivity." But there were plenty of other clubmen who disagreed: 217 said they would themselves resign unless the sophomores had their way. By week's end, the sophomores seemed to be winning the battle that Woodrow Wilson lost. Said Chairman William Wallace of the Undergraduate Interclub Committee: "The clubs will try their best to fit their election machinery to the sophomore...
This letter has but one purpose: to protest against any action by Harvard University or alumni giving preference of aid to athletes who apply to Harvard College. I should like to assert that I am as great a sports fan as anyone at Harvard. I had spent more time playing sports than I had eating, attending school, seeing movies, shows, etc., reading, riding on bicycles, cars, trains, streetcars, and busses, listening to the radio, or writing until I got polio when I was 14 years old. Nor have I ceased to play sports since I recovered from my attack: only...

Purported reason: to protest the deaths of two peasants who had tried to seize idle land and been killed in battles with police. The strike was an even more dismal flop than the walkout staged by Communists in France last fortnight (TIME, Dec. 5). The Italian strike stopped the steel and auto factories of the north; it was partly effective in the ports, and in urban transport systems. Nevertheless, millions of workers ignored the strike order. Instead of being paralyzed, Italy felt only...
