...University is a sterile mortuary for the creative artist the Design School offers contrary evidence that successful training is possible in fields not limited to the exercise of the critical interpretative facilities but also in those relying upon artistic creativity. The efforts and results of the GSD and Arch. Sci. Department in the teaching of the visual arts assumes particular importance in a society whose increased awareness and concern for the role of the visual arts is especially notable against the background of nearly complete neglect which characterized its attitude towards these fields in the past...
...Arching Lines. Project Argus began with a suggestion from Nicholas Constantine Christofilos, 42, a remarkable engineer-scientist of limited academic training but highly original ideas. For centuries, scientists have known that the earth behaves as if it had a great bar magnet inside it; lines of magnetic force make compass needles point to the magnetic north and south poles. As magnetic theory developed, scientists realized that the lines of force must arch high above the atmosphere. More than 50 years ago they began to speculate on how charged particles such as electrons would behave in the vacuum of space near...
...Pitted against Frank Modine of Michigan State and Si Hopkins of Michigan (both of whom have done 2:22.7), Stanley's main competition for third should come from Gordon Collett of Oklahoma. In the 100, he will have to beat Navy's Bob Taft, who won the Easterns, plus arch-rival Joe Koletsky of Yale, who lost to Stanley last week at New Haven...
Such incongruities suggested that further changes were necessary; twelve-tone music needed a language of its own--not one borrowed from a previous system.

In time it became clear that the major influence on the succeeding generation of twelve-tone writers was Anton Webern, another Schoenberg pupil who has been the subject of a major renaissance in the past few years...
Star Witness Rawson Mbogwa Macharia, a frail little Kikuyu shopkeeper, testified six years ago that Kenyatta himself had given him the Mau Mau oath, that he had been stripped naked and made to walk seven times through an arch of banana leaves and to drink human blood. Last spring, hoping for money, Macharia made the rounds of Nairobi newspapers showing a letter to him from Kenya's attorney general written before the trial. In return for his testimony, the letter said, the government would reward Macharia with a round-trip air ride to England, a two-year college course...
