Spring, through it did not feel like it, was not too far away, and plans were already being made for Jubilee. Charles Cunningham was chosen to head the committee to prepare the festival rites, while Joseph Collins was to head the Smoker. Winter sports were winding up, and the undefeated hockey team dropped its last meet to Yale, 1 to 0; Smith Halls captured the interdormitory winter title; and a large number of freshmen wandered out to Soldiers Field for spring football practice...

Sallie Bingham seems to be winning all kinds of prizes, including not only the Dana Reed Prize ("Winter Term") and the Radcliffe Phi Beta Kappa Prize ("The Riding Lesson"), but also the Advocate Prize. Unfortunately, her vision of "Luke" has been choked by the tedious semi-genteel mannerism of her situation. As a result, this new story has almost none of the lure of "Winter Term" or the intensity of "The Riding Lesson."

Television, which likes its plots explicit, has had little success adapting the misty works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, with their subtle concerns for class cravings, lost illusions and elusive ideals. But then, neither have the stage and cinema. In adapting Fitzgerald's frail short story Winter Dreams for last week's Playhouse go over CBS, Emmy Winner James P.

For 1957, the U.S. signed up 233,453 farmers to take 12,784,968 acres of wheat out of production in return for $230,974,475 in payments. This should have cut output 20%, but the now ripening winter-seeded wheat crop (the bulk of the crop) is expected to be 703 million bu., only 4% under the 1956 total of 734 million. Moreover, per-acre yields of 22.5 bu. (v. 18.6 average for the past ten years) will break all records...
