Although they have initiation rituals and secret passwords, and they hoist a skull-and-cross bones up their flag pole each day, the Brothers do not run an Animal House operation. No brassieres hang from the bannisters, no motorcycles are driven through the dining room. By 7 p.m. most weekday evenings a hush falls over the carpeted upstairs hallways and regal, mahogany-trimmed smoking rooms. No one is gatoring to "Louie Louie" under the 25-ft. dinner table or filling water balloons on the roof. If you plan to remain at MIT for any length of time as a student...
...Garden of Eden moralism that has long since vanished from most campuses. Wheaton ground rules: no cheating, no racial prejudice, no tobacco, no alcohol, no drugs, no gambling-and no social dancing either. Students must sign a "pledge" card on the rules. Bible classes are mandatory, as is weekday worship, with assigned seats so monitors can check attendance...
Koch trains for his job like a prizefighter. Weekday mornings he gets up at 6 o'clock and hurries off to a health spa near city hall. The manager opens it early so that Koch can ride the exercise bicycle, do sets of 17 sit-ups and bench presses, and jog a mile on the treadmill-all before going to work at 8 a.m., fit and eager for the day's crises.

...weekenders must maintain the same minimum C average and pay the same tuition ($149 per quarter for freshmen and sophomores, $266.50 for juniors and seniors) required of regular students. But unlike the weekday program, Weekend College admits any high school graduate, regardless of his or her grades. The quarterly dropout rate is about 50%, double WSU's overall average, though many of those who leave do so because of job changes or marital problems and return later on. Laid-offautoworkers can receive unemployment benefits while enrolled in Weekend College, but are ineligible for such aid if they become full...
Just after 6 p.m. and again at 10 p.m. every weekday, crisp white letters on Soviet television screens announce Today in the World, a 15-minute blend of international news and commentary that is one of the most watched shows in the U.S.S.R. Vladimir Dunayev, 51, one of Today's regular hosts, describes the day's events-half smiling here at the absurdity of Western posturing on the Afghanistan question, curling his lip there to show contempt for U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. The commentator is low key but sardonic, a bit like David Brinkley. But Dunayev...
