...Inter-House Foods Committee consists of delegates from each of the central kitchen houses, under the co-chairman-ship of Claeson and Wilber W. Marshman '57. It was formed in December when the Student Council's Food committee, which is investigating meals throughout the University, gave the five house committees permission to run a survey independent of the council, in response to complaints from students about meals...
Perambulating mops known as Yorkshire terriers had their fragile silken locks bound up in wax paper and rubber bands whenever they were out of the ring; often they wore woolen booties to keep from scratching up their own coiffures.

Shaved hindquarters aided swimming, while tufts of hair on legs and hips warmed the joints where blood runs close to the skin. The fancy topknot and powder-puff tail helped mark the animals when working in dense underbrush...
...victim of McCarthy's tactics ("Come on, Robert, tell us the truth now"). With his resignation all the principals have given up the positions they then held except Joe McCarthy himself, still in the Senate but now stripped of power and prestige. Stevens' successor as Army Secretary: Wilber Brucker, the Defense Department's general counsel, who early this year laughed in McCarthy's face...
