Widener officials have failed to extend chasing hours primarily because they have failed to recognize the importance of this improvement. They claim that other University libraries can meet the needs of most of the students who do not have Widener stack passes. But Lamont and Radcliffe Libraries frequently prove inadequate even for regular undergraduate courses. Moreover, an increasing number of undergraduates, such as students in freshman seminars, do special work which requires Widener's resources...
...Caretakers, we move to another kind of insanity. Robert Stack is the good psychiatrist who thinks patients should be understood. When he speaks, nothing in his entire body moves but his mouth, which is usually saying something like "Don't you see, Miss Terry, what a little affection would do?"

Unfortunately, he is a generation or so behind the times, and his pioneering proceeds along a well-traveled road. He has what he apparently considers a revolutionary new idea for treating borderline cases. He calls it group therapy. The doctor likes to sit in his office and tune in, by way of closed-circuit TV, on Polly Bergen, Janis Paige and other patients down...
