...chorus of cries for student power. But what role do the students want to play in influencing university affairs? Some youthful revolutionaries, of course, are simply using the university as a platform to assault U.S. society as a whole, and even the most outspoken advocates of student power stop short of wanting to govern a university. Basically, today's undergraduate rebels hope to be taken seriously as a responsible voice in shaping their university-which means influencing basic policy decisions, securing better teachers, helping create a more meaningful curriculum, and insisting on autonomy in their personal lives.

Like Carol, the ladies' tour has come a long way in a short time. In 1961, only $186,000 in prize money was at stake; this year the total is up to more than $500,000. Carol Mann's victory at Shreveport earned her $1,725, boosted her 1968 earnings to $9,550, tops on the tour. By contrast, Tom Weiskopf, the No. 1 moneywinner on the men's circuit, has already earned $73,322 this year-almost 75% of what Carol has won in her eight years...

Sweden's Dr. Hydén felt that the creation of protein (as in pigeons, rats and goldfish) is essential to man's formation of long-term memories. Human brain cells, said Hydén, seldom divide and replace themselves...
Rumpus Room. The children's rumpus room of the U.S. theater is the off-off-Broadway café house-usually an operation that is long on valor but considerably shorter on value. Typical of this arena is Collision Course, a show consisting of eleven short plays, most of them by café-nurtured playwrights, presented last week at Manhattan's Café Au go Go. All were esthetic stillbirths. Alternating between juvenile temper tantrums and thumb-sucking private reveries, they dwelt on the tried-and-trite themes of alienation, lack of communication, male-female hostility, the nausea...
