Competing Strangers. The first of five "sub-colleges" planned within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Kansas will open in Lawrence this month. It will handle 450 freshmen, who will share classes, housing and dormitory advisers. All freshmen are expected to be in such a college next year, all sophomores and freshmen a year later. Kansas Sociologist E. Jackson Baur hopes it will help K.U. students to avoid falling into the type he sees at most universities: "A collection of com peting strangers who are incapable of collaborating with one another in a pleasurable pursuit...

Then, in a curious bit of reasoning, the commission criticized both companies for spending too much on competitive sales promotions, urged that the regulatory Board of Trade require both...
...Share the Rap. So far, leading personal-injury lawyers doubt that individual engineers need be overly alarmed about the new legal risks, which are still mainly aimed at manufacturers. Manhattan Lawyer Harry H. Lipsig foresees suits against engineers in only two general situations: 1) where the manufacturer has gone out of business, or is financially weaker than the engineering firm; 2) where the plaintiff finds the engineer in a more convenient jurisdiction than the manufacturer, as when a U.S. engineer designs a machine that is then built abroad...
