Many of the nation's engineering schools, including Princeton, now require five years for tier bachelor's degree kin engineering, but not in other sciences. The College's five year plan will also affect only Applied Science, and not Physics or Chemistry. It is probable that there will be no changes in the present requirements for the B.A., either with or without honors, in Applied Science. The new degree is designed for people who wish to get a higher degree of specialization in their field before graduating, at the same time fulfilling other undergraduate requirements in General Education...
...long-plagued by the seating shortage for games with big opponents like Yale, the College decided to construct the country's first football stadium. As the huge structure, capable of seating nearly 40,000 persons, arose tier by tier across the Charles River, the rest of the football world began to take keen note...

Many Vermont farmers had buckets out in their maple-sugar groves. Though Lake Erie is normally frozen solid far into March, the Nicholson Transit Co. freighter James Watt made a trial run from Detroit to Toledo last week, and found only one insignificant patch of drifting...

Besides this, there has been a tremendous increase in voter registration--particularly in Republican districts. On the "southern tier" of countles there was an 18% gain, in Queens it was 21%, and in Nassau it was 52%. These are all Republican strongholds. On the other hand, registration did not rise so much in the usually Democratic cities. One plausible explanation of the suburban and upstate gains in registration is the influx of city people...
