...during holidays); it is as nerve-racking as a final exam, as grueling in its way as a Ph.D. oral. It is also a part of U.S. education that is duplicated nowhere else in the world. "What we're trying to teach the boys," says Livestock Expert George. Reid, "is the sense of making a sound, systematic decision.

Editor Reid announced that "we will be glad to make front-page space available to top Democratic spokesmen to present affirmative ideas of the Democratic Party."
