...general questionnaire prepared by the CRIMSON and mailed to all non-residents, one discouraged student speculated that the College "will try to liquidate the commuter 'problem" by tearing down the present Dudley and forgetting to put up a new commuter center." In a policy statement prepared for this article, however, President Pusey explains both the building delay and the College's commitment to its non-residents (see box). Worthy of the closest attention, this statement indicates that the Administration has come to some basic decisions, not only about the care and feeding of commuters, but also about the future composition...

Secondly, the commuters themselves, as shown by a poll in 1953, were almost unanimously opposed.

...moment of high Gallic drama, President Charles de Gaulle entered the resort town of Vichy fortnight ago for the first time since World War II, emotionally told a cheering crowd: "We are a single people, the great, the only, the unique French people." This statement, delivered in the seat of Marshal Henri Philippe Pétain's wartime collaborationist government, seemed to most Frenchmen to be De Gaulle's way of saying that the time had come to forgive and forget World War II collaboration with the Germans. Last week his countrymen learned once again how risky...
