...elusive; one instructor at Wellesley, a Harvard alumnus, characterized it as a "cult of gentility." It is manifested in rules, in curriculum, and in the faculty itself. Smoking is permitted in the halls of Administration buildings--for visitors. Again, a recent student request to go to the college PX shop, The Well, after 10:00 curfew until it closed at 10:45 was turned down. According to a member of the newspaper, the Dean of Students objected that Wellesley girls should not be "living a life of whim...
...suggest physical improvements for Dudley, commuters gave a long list, including more room for quiet studying, better game room, more gracious dining hall, junior common "that isn't just an entrance hall," several small meeting rooms, and shower facilities. Other notable items: more lockers and coat-racks, a coffee shop, "huge" parking lot, evening meals, larger bunkroom, bicycle and scooter parking, and most of all--a new, centralized facility designed with the commuting student in mind...

Newhouse sold plant and property of his strikebound St. Louis Globe-Democrat to the thriving St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which will print the Globe on contract...
...bachelor and onetime commercial artist, Johns works in a neat, spacious loft over a sandwich shop in lower Manhattan, explains his own work more lucidly than the critics have. "It all began," he says, "with my painting a picture of an American flag. Using this design took care of a great deal for me because I didn't have to design it. So I went on to similar things like the targets-things the mind already knows. That gave me room to work on other levels. For instance, I've always thought of a painting as a surface...
