...seven per cent increase over last year's 2810 students is probably partially due to the increasing draft quota, according to J. Peterson Elder, Dean of the GSAS. "Ideally, I certainly hope this isn't so, but realistically some must be here because of the draft," Elder admitted yesterday...
Like many another church recently, the United Church of Christ has decided that it pays to advertise. Two years ago the United Presbyterian Church commissioned a series of radio spots by Stan Freberg. The Unitarians have acquired a substantial quota of converts over the years with low-keyed ads in magazines that begin: "Are You a Unitarian Without Knowing It?" And long before any of these, the Knights of Columbus began sponsoring magazine ads giving once-over-lightly explanations of Roman Catholic doctrine. BUT WHY THE CANDLES, HOLY WATER AND BEADS? headlines one of their...
...Deal? The bill, eliminating the national origins quota system that went into effect in 1929 (TIME, Aug. 13), had cleared the House, 318 to 95, and was awaiting routine consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee. There was just one item to be disposed of first: Dirksen's proposed constitutional amendment on state legislative reapportionment.

Great Britain, with an annual quota of about 65,000 a year, sends no more than 25,000 immigrants to the U.S. Ireland, with a quota of 17,750, sends just 6,500. Italy, allowed to send only 5,666, has a waiting list of 249,583. India's quota is just 100, its backlog...
...bill would allow the unused quotas of nations such as Great Britain and Ireland to be pooled and transferred to low-quota nations such as Italy and India. Then, by July 1968, the national origins system would be scrapped entirely. Instead, the U.S. would offer a total of 170,000 immigrant visas on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of 20,000 permits for any nation outside the Western Hemisphere. As the present law entails, there still would be no numerical limit within the Hemisphere. Beyond that, any parents, minor children, or spouses of U.S. citizens would...
