...could have their board expenses equitably reduced. Since this would entail no more bookkeeping trouble than separating the student body into 14-meal and 21-meal categories, and would still give the kitchens an idea of the daily food requirements, any increase in accounting expenses would seem to be offset by the more just distribution of the board costs...

The U.S. had the biggest slice of the world's daily circulation -more than 55 million-but in printing 344 daily copies per 1,000 inhabitants, it trailed behind Britain (609 per 1,000) and nine other countries, including Japan (with 399).

...Freshman Lacrosse team is faced with the age-old problem: that is, building a winning team out of players, the majority of whom have never seen a lacrosse stick before. To date, Pickett's warriors have a .500 record; but a 7-6 squeaker over MIT cannot offset a 20-1 holocaust at the hands of a powerful Deerfield Academy team...
