...must have ideas about them. There is a definite need for intellectuals in this country today. The modern world needs more people-including girls-who think for themselves." All down the line, urged Sister Margaret, education for U.S. women should be stiffened. More women should go on to graduate school, be fitted for "a better contribution to American life." Said she of classical-bent Trinity, which sends half its girls to graduate school: "We're not in the business of training committee women or bridge players...
...best-passing Sunday-school teacher that Dallas ever had. For when he is not teaching the youngsters at the Lovers' Lane Methodist Church, bullnecked, rangy (6 ft. 3 in., 195 Ibs.) Don Meredith plays quarterback for Southern Methodist. Last week Meredith had a painfully sprained thumb on his passing hand and a charley horse to boot when he faced tough Texas Tech. But in the fourth period, with the score tied 7-7, Meredith faded with the ball, twice wiggled free of tacklers, and floated a 31-yd. touchdown pass into the end zone. As S.M.U. went...
Meredith began passing in the second grade in Mt. Vernon, Texas, where he toddled into the state's cradle-robbing system of organized football. By his senior year in high school, Meredith was all-state in both football and basketball. At S.M.U. he is a business major (C average), counts the days until Christmas vacation when he will marry blonde Cheerleader Lynne Shamburger, wears a complete wardrobe from his father's dry-goods store in Mt.

Throughout the game. a character looking like an aging water boy strode up and down before the Syracuse bench. He wore a dark blue school shirt and a baseball cap pulled low over his close-cropped grey hair, and he barely came to some of the players' shoulders. But when he spoke, they spun to listen, and for good reason. Bantam-sized (5 ft. 8 in., 160 lbs.) Coach Floyd Burdette ("Ben") Schwartzwalder, 50, is the one man who has changed Syracuse from a perpetual Eastern patsy into a powerhouse that leads the nation in offense (36.4 points...
When the church softened its policy to permit "Youth Dedication" to the state, participation in these strictly secular ersatz confirmations hit an 80%-go% high last spring, and some East German congregations celebrated no Christian confirmations at all. Fewer and fewer children are signing up for the voluntary school program of religious education. Economic discrimination against Christians has not abated, and Red bureaucrats systematically hinder efforts to build new churches and repair old ones. In Saxony alone, 50 churches were condemned as unsafe since the war while the state withheld permission for repairs...
