...Thua Thien provinces. To be ready for anything, General Westmoreland last week announced the creation in the north of Provisional Corps Viet Nam, to be headed by Army Lieut. General William B. Rosson, 49. Rosson will have battle command of all actions in the two provinces, but will report to Marine Lieut. General Robert E. Cushman Jr., the Marines' commander in Viet Nam. The Marines had been riled by Westy's dispatch of Army General Creighton W. Abrams Jr. last month to run things in I Corps-since his four stars would have put him over the Marines...

Based on questionnaires sent to 5,500 students, the report contained nearly 100 recommendations backed by arguments so well-reasoned that, says Dean of Women Alice Emerson, it "put the stamp of quality on undergraduate thinking."
