Sources at the Daily Princetonian, the student newspaper, explained yesterday that the proposal, which originated with Edward D. Sullivan '36, dean of the college, is intended to add greater flexibility to the Princeton undergraduate program while reducing the burden of five required courses a year. The new plan will serve these purposes better than the pass-fail system because students would be able to drop an audited course at any time...
...revolt failed. Premier Souvanna Phouma, a neutralist who might have shared Ma's views, was out of the country. The three prestigious prisoners escaped. And, on the instructions of American Ambassador William Sullivan, U.S. officers from the nearby Udorn airbase in Thailand saw to it that Ma's planes did not leave their base at Savannakhet for the threatened second strike.

This trio of con artists gull the gullible - clerks, widows, fortune hunters such as Sir Epicure Mammon (George Voskovec), and hypocritical Puritans. As written by Jonson, the play has the shapely precision of a ballet, wittily danced to the themes of vanity, greed, cunning, lust and fraud. As directed by Jules Irving...
