With a view to the advantages which can be gained from the combination, Mr. Russell T. Sharpe has made several changes in the method of application for scholarships which promise to result in a more equitable distribution of available funds. He has composed an application blank which is at once simpler and more comprehensive than the old-one. In particular, the revised blank requires the names of two instructors and of directors of extra-curricular activities who know the applicant, rather than the single name of the man's tutor. Information from these persons and from personal interviews with...
Jaakko Mikkola is used to having good track teams. Last year, and for years immemorial before that, his teams and those of Eddie Farrell took the honors.

For the life, in general, partook of melodrama: the protagonist was descended of an aristocratic family on his father's side while his mother was the lineal descendant of an Ethiopian prince, whom Peter the Great had acquired from the Sultan of Turkey. It was a far cry from the Sublime Porte...
Perhaps the sharpest criticism of the new bill comes from Senator Johnson who believes it to be unnecessarily rigid with its signal avoidance of giving the President very much discretionary power. The automatic operation of such a severe law might conceivably result in stirring up retaliatory measures or vene war with us, if the belligerent were seriously compromised by stringent trade regulations. Nevertheless, it is hard to see how any extension of the President's influence could mollify this objection if neutrality legislation is to have any teeth at all.
