...campaign to ward off U.S. business dominance of France, imaginary or real, Charles de Gaulle has encouraged the formation of indigenous industrial giants powerful enough to compete with American firms. Last week, with the encouragement of De Gaulle's government, two of the oldest automakers in the world, both founded in France around the turn of the century as family concerns, joined to form what was described as an "association...
...opens in a hospital ward, where the gauze bandages turbaning every head suggest that the patients all have something wrong up there. In the case of Patient Edwin Spindrift, a Ph.D. and lecturer on linguistics, this seems to be indisputably so. His libido is dead. Ink smells like peppermint to him, hot fat like violets.

The danger exists that not only will an exceptional youth worker be lost, but that his accomplishments will be wiped...
...Council meeting, CCA and Independent councillors alike acclaimed the job Ward has done with minimal funds and assistance. They expressed regret that the Council is powerless under the Charter to rehire him or find him a similar position. It is now up to the new City Manager, Joseph A. DeGuglielmo '29. He can do the City a great service by finding Ward a new position as soon as possible. The youth of the City need a man like Ward, and the City needs some semblance of unity if it is to face more important issues, such as the Inner Belt...
