...other point has to do with astrology and numerology as hobbies. I never was interested in numerology. In the case of astrology, I was interested in the possible effect of the moon and the planets on weather. I obtained, therefore, the heliocentric longitudes of the planets from the Naval Ephemerises and the geocentric longitudes from an Astrological Ephemeris. The mathematics of astrology is simply Geocentric Astronomy. Was it possible that the angle of the planets to the earth might determine weather, or was it more probable that the angle to the sun might determine weather? I was never able...
Explaining a special rule announced last Spring, Miss Spidell said that students who break a contract with the College for a House room without a "legitimate" reason are assessed a $50 fine. The ruling does not effect students in Houses who do not apply in February for a reassignment, she added...

Her exports to Belgium, The Netherlands and France have stopped, and her sales to Great Britain no longer produce any foreign exchange, because sterling exports...
...British lOUs might be discounted by Argentina in the U. S., turned into U. S. dollars. Argentina would thus get dollars needed to pay for U. S. imports while the U. S.-accepting the lOUs because British credit is well cushioned here-would be financing the whole deal, in effect making a roundabout loan to Great Britain...
