...rents. In view of this, a partial solution to the problem is obvious, if a trifle Utopian: those who can afford more than the maximum set down on their applications should signify that capability. The other side of the question, namely, that presented by the rooms in the upper price brackets, a number of which never have been filled, and are not filled now, is not so evident of solution...
...many high priced singles in the first place. These rooms, and the others of a similar price level, have never been more than partly filled: the empty ones are a liability, and since there are more applications than rooms, they are needed. The disposal of these rooms in the upper brackets is not easy; "doubling up" is at best an extremely poor and temporary solution; it is, however, a problem for the University to solve. The demand for this solution is a fair one if the students are in turn asked to give as much as they can afford...

Here for over 100 years members of the student fighting corps have staged their slashing bouts. The Republic's law against student dueling was lifted in Prussia, Bavaria and Baden three weeks ago (TIME, April 17).

...ideas about the upper atmosphere came out during the American Philosophical Society's meeting in Philadelphia last week: 1) that the region is violently turbulent; 2) that it produces cosmic radiations (not to be confused with cosmic rays...
When the Leonid meteors coursed through the upper air last November, Astronomer Olivier had 14 scattered observers chart the meteor trails. Comparison of data showed the meteors traveling 90 to 142 m. p. h. The faster ones began to glow from atmospheric friction when 84 mi. from earth's surface. At 54 mi. they burned themselves out. Two of the meteors spattered luminescent trains behind them, which Astronomer Olivier's men saw floating 50 to 60 mi. aloft. Wind drove one train upward at an angle of 55 degrees and a speed of 142 m. p. h. Wind...
