...Reading Test. Required of all Freshmen. This is, as the pamphlet says, "A test to estmate reading skills." Don't worry, you can't fail, and it doesn'r really matter. If you don't do well, the University will recommend that you take a worthwhile reading comprehension course at the Bureau of Study Council. So the ends of this test are kindly, but the means are a drag. The material on the test is guaranteed to be dull (in '75 it was some drivel about English kings of the 12th Century and their legal practices, I think...

In selecting a sport, weight, body build and general flexibility must be considered. Fat people should forsake jogging in favor of sports like swimming that mitigate the effects of gravity. Women...
...Walvis Bay. Until international attention focused on independence for Namibia, few people had much reason to think at all about this spectacular but isolated deep-water port on the continent's barren southwestern coastline. Apart from the harbor and its railroad connections, Walvis Bay has little to recommend even to its inhabitants: 10,000 whites of mixed British, Dutch and German descent, 4,000 "coloreds," and 11,000 blacks, most of them migrant workers from other parts of South West Africa...
