Besides closing the league slate for the year, the two games also will be the varsity's last until after examinations, when it plays two Greater Boston League contests, one with Amherst and two Commencement games with Yale...
...What Alternatives?" When the time came to choose party officers, the old (80) Chancellor acted as both chairman and nominating committee. He proposed his slate, ignored all hands raised against it, and announced amid gasps: "As nearly as I can see, it's unanimous." When the time came to lay down doctrine, Adenauer announced that the party would fight the 1957 elections on the same reunification plank as in 1953: "We hold fast to the policy of integration of Europe and the Atlantic community." It was folly to think that Germany could act unilaterally without antagonizing its friends: "Ladies...

The Eliot House Drama Group, for example, last week announced a full slate of lower-case titles for its 1956-57 productions and completed casting for two of them. In time such farsighted acts may revolutionize the nature of over-the-summer planning at the College. Presumably, a late-April commitment to play Oedipus in October is more binding than an intention to take Humanities 2, as indicated on a preliminary study card...
