...that Rhinelander has laid the difficult administrative groundwork, it is perhaps only natural that University officials should be on the lookout for widely recognized scholars to accept temporary chairmanships of Committee on General Education. Although not previously considered by the faculty, the new plan will certainly have its advantages-closer affiliation and cooperation between the Committee and the faculty as a whole, as well as a constant influx of new ideas...
...Socialists' (105 seats in the National Asisembly) refusal to join his government.

While the colleges' problem may be understandable, their solution is unfair. They have scoured the hinterlands trying to intensify interest in their campuses, and thus, in a sense, have themselves created the problem of multiple applications. The high school student from Iowa often is no longer content to attend the state university. He feels, instead, that he should...
