...that the interests of the Houses are incompatible with the interests of the College as a whole. Since the vast majority of the three upperclasses act in dual capacity as members of both House and College, such an argument seems invalid. Representation of commuters and non- House members would stay the same, and the question of Freshmen can hardly be brought in on either side inasmuch as in neither case would their present unrepresentative condition be altered...
...Another sit-down strike never occurred. In a leather plant at Grand Haven, Mich., 300 workers organized a "stay-in." They did their work by day, slept in the plant by night. The management of the plant did nothing, for the stay-inners were trying to prevent sit-downers from seizing the plant. Said the leader of the stay-inners: "We have nothing to gain from C. I.

Behind Walgreen Co.'s expansion is the simple principle of Founder-President Charles Rudolph Walgreen that a chain can be as long as it wants provided each link is strong. Each of his corner drugstores in 33 States can stay put so long as it is profitable, no longer. Now 63, bald, humorless, stern-faced Drugman Walgreen started rolling pills in a Dixon, Ill. drugstore in his teens. He left Dixon for Chicago when he was 20, got a drug clerk's job the day he arrived, started studying to be a pharmacist. He bought his first store...
