...would be impossible to run the University or the College if every administrative decision were referred to the Faculty. Yet there comes, every few years, a critical problem which needs such discussion, and which would benefit substantially from thorough consideration by non-Administrators. Perhaps the revision of the Freshman year is such a question; certainly expansion is sufficiently immediate and pressing so that the Administration should stop playing its cards close to its chest, throwing the matter open to and actively encouraging general faculty discussion...
...coverage which the yearbook gives to the community is generally thorough and competent. In this sense, 323 fulfills part of its editorial standard of being "a lasting, accurate record of what happened at Harvard in a given span." Of course, there are a few inaccuracies: the CRIMSON does accord its Radcliffe members full privileges within a merged organization; Dr. Henry A.

Each was bombarded with a cacophony of piercing noises and incredible high-frequency sounds, also shut into a dark, soundproof room for three hours to measure his adaptability to isolation.

Answered one Astronaut, Marine Lieut. Colonel John Glenn: "If you figure out how many openings there are in the human body...

Little things-a new hat, dining out, or going to a ball game-help in mild cases. "A tranquilized mother would be about as good as a tranquilized Notre Dame football team," says Dr. Lovshin. "Who wants to live with a wet rag?" So he is against giving tranquilizers to tired mothers. But he thinks there may be a place for tranquilizers in handling these cases: "Give them to the husband, children and puppies...
