With over 1,500 foreign students now in the Greater Boston area activities in the past year or two have hit some kind of zenith. Lectures last year ranged from "Zoroastrianism" to "The Ethnic Groups in Cambridge," but the programs also offered more universal appeal with dances and activities of the S-O-M-E--scouting, outing, meeting, and eating--Committee that did all those things with equal verve and success. "Open House" on Sundays attracts many American students who come to partake of both an education more liberal than the GE program and also of what the Center calls...

By this stroke M-G-M got entry into the many phonograph shops which sell Zenith radios, hopes to sell their records in 5,000 key stores.
