...Focus of the college experience," come now. Beginning to sound like another Dunlop Report. Big words are cheap this year. Where's the nitty-gritty beneath all the verbiage? Underneath the asparagus tree written in the tea leaves I see the words: JESUS SAVES. So, appropriately, I pray to be saved, to be delivered from the tedium of the lecture halls, to be thrown out into the real world where real things happen to fleshandblood people.

...anyone unfamiliar with the U.S. Southwest, "Santa Fe Industries" may sound like an overextended name for a New Mexico manufacturer of Navajo Indian blankets. When the name begins to appear on stock tapes sometime later this summer or early fall, even Easterners will soon learn that it refers to the big and already well-known Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co. Like other U.S. railroads, the fourth largest, Santa Fe, has become increasingly active in nonrail businesses, now receives about $17 million annually, or close to 30% of its total earnings, from these other activities...
