...other classification, in the order named, are part-time teacher, professional intern (a person currently being trained for teaching), resource person (adults whose careers are in fields other than teaching, but whose special talents lie in fields where the regular school staff has insufficient strength), and clerical aide (adults with no professional preparation who are able, with a minimum of training to assist in various routine and nontechnical aspects of the team's daily work...
...philosophies that direct the two universities also lie poles apart. With the continually increasing number of applicants and the relative impossibility of expansion in Cambridge, Harvard is becoming more and more dedicated to an elitist education. Many apply; few are accepted. And this education is as expensive as it is selective. The state institution, on the other hand, is surrounded by farm lands which can easily be purchased for expansion, and with greater numbers of applicants the number of students will rise. State subsidies keep tuition costs low. Many apply--and many are accepted. Thus, the University of Massachusetts definitely...

In the semifinals, faced with a 27-ft. putt downhill over a hump, Nicklaus precisely moved his new bat and watched the ball trickle home to eliminate California...
Then came the mud-puddle incident : four civilians confidently entered a restricted area of the Keflavik base, were challenged by a U.S. sentry and ordered to lie flat on the muddy ground for 15 minutes while a sergeant was summoned. Last week every daily newspaper in the capital city of Reykjavik was spread with flaming headlines. The "intruders" proved to be two officials of the Icelandic Civil Aviation Administration and two American pilots bound for a hangar where the Americans' plane was being repaired. A U.S. spokesman hastily explained that it was a mistake on both sides: the area...
