...might have been easier if they'd given him a gold watch. But Canada's Liberal Party caucus, at a farewell party for retiring Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, 70, decided that what the P.M. and Wife Maryon, 64, really coveted was a couple of "skidoo outfits"-explorer-like garb suitable for skimming about on snowmobiles.

From how on, the trustees have rules, every academically eligible Sophomore must be allowed to become a member of a club if he so wishes...
