Messrs. Rosovsky and Wilson have kept their project moving at such a steady pace by avoiding open debate on the details of their proposal to tighten up the present General Education requirements for undergraduates until they have thoroughly thrashed them out with concerned faculty.

And so, to the tune of such muscle-toning music as Strangers in the Night, passengers contract and tighten their muscles-starting with their toes and working up to their arms.
