Freshmen, who will receive PT credit for their skiing, will have priority for half the places in the group if the program is oversubscribed...
Last week Goldwater's point received new credibility. The Pentagon went into a headline-screaming flap over reports of another Tonkin Gulf incident. U.S. destroyers in the area reported seeing strange blips on their radar screens, assumed a new attack by North Vietnamese PT boats, started firing.

Then on Thursday, as rumors spread of possible Red Chinese involvement, the market tumbled 9.65 points - to 823.40 - in the sharpest one-day break since President Kennedy's assassination. The week's total decline, after a 5¾-point rally at week...
