...most valid objections to the signing off proposal come from the Housemasters, who feel that such a plan would hurt the house system. One of the basic premises of the existing system is that by collecting undergraduates to eat, a valuable mental collision is generated, which is lost by those who eat in clubs or local restaurants. Undeniably this is a potent argument against the change as it applies to lunch and dinner, not to breakfast. Certainly most students who miss the morning meal do so in order to stay in bed rather than to find better company or menus...
...based, were important and should be expressed. Undoubtedly these ideas, ranging from the brotherhood of man through the value of moderation to the evils of mechanized civilization, have a profound importance. The first concern of the stage, however, is human personality and not abstract philosophy. Philosophical ideas get a valid dramatic statement only so long as they illuminate some dilemma in which the people on stage find themselves. But the important characters in Shangri-La have no real problem since their story turns on accidents over which they have no control. As a result, their airy musings, based on nothing...
...successfully appeals the Gilbert decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the high tribunal would be unlikely to accept the case after its contrary Nelson ruling.

And, finally, in response to the petition of 42 state Attorneys General, the Federal court could hear re-argument of the Nelson case, but there is little precedent to expect...

Furthermore, the Icardi hearing amounted to a "legislative trial," and the authority of Congress to investigate "cannot be extended to sanction a legislative trial and conviction of the individual toward whom the evidence points the finger of suspicion...
...this greater amount of material to which course instructors object. Papers are more difficult to grade than hour exams because of their length and because their higher thought content requires more careful deliberation from the grader. This, however, is not a valid argument against having more papers in courses. If the college considers papers to be a really valuable stimulus to education, it must hire more graduate students to perform the drudgery of grading. In this way, it will develop the ability to work out a problem thoroughly instead of the now prevalent hour exam spirit of gamesmanship...
