...problem when it comes--whether that is next week or five years away." There are efforts to end segregation--a group of students is at work to end undergraduate segregation voluntarily before the Supreme Court does it legally--but there is no strong student movement. Part of this relatively tacit acceptance of Negroes as undergraduates comes from the fact that Negroes are already enrolled in graduate schools--living in a separate section of the dormitory but eating in the common dining hall...
Last Thursday night the Student Council took all the meaning out of an important Combined Charities ruling made in 1952. At that time the Council had set up certain criteria for organizations which were to receive its tacit endorsement by being listed on the solicitation card. Its ruling stipulated that charities, to be so listed, must be student oriented, must be partially dependent on student funds, and must spend no more than ten percent of their income for administrative expenses. Now, however, the Council has decided to permit exceptions to the latter specification--the ten percent rule--for some charities...
Like bumper cars at an amusement park, 700-odd pre-medical students needlessly knock each other out every year. Uncertain of medical requirements, they compete intensely in upper-level science courses, to be sure they qualify. The College administration has shown its tacit disapproval of such over-concentration by not setting up a special pre-medical field. But it has never adequately advised pre-meds of scientific requirements, or the advantages of a liberal arts background, and as a result, the pointless duplication of medical school courses in the College has continued...
...candidates, there was little doubt that Roosevelt would be the stronger in a general election. Last winter, with De Sapio's knowledge and tacit approval, Junior started rounding up delegates from upstate New York (TIME, June 21). He succeeded all too well; De Sapio's palace guards, who had previously encouraged Roosevelt, began to fear that his upstate strength would shift the balance of power away from Tammany. That was enough for De Sapio, who already looked approvingly on Harriman because 1) as an undeviating party regular, he was more susceptible to control than Junior, and 2) with...
...markedly different views seem evident [at Manila]. The Philippines, Thailand, Australia and, somewhat more mildly, New Zealand, have shown a preference for a strong security organization based on a NATO-like defensive military alliance. The United Kingdom and France, with tacit if reluctant U.S. consent, prefer a loose treaty of mutual defense subject to the constitutional processes of each participating state. The U.S. is caught between the two contradictory positions held on the one hand by its best friends in Southeast Asia and the western Pacific, and on the other by two of its outstanding allies in Europe...
