The University could either raise the enrollment limits, offer all seven soc scis, or else develop new courses, as was done this year with Soc Sci 8.

Excerpts from Kennedy's week of speeches...
...moved to the podium with the same puzzling grin and waved the orchestra through both pieces without a flaw. During the last test selection-a tricky, untitled tone poem composed by Judge Bigot to tax contestants-Jorgensen drove the orchestra through the score so fast that the string section was glazed with perspiration at the finish. He won first prize hands down. For all his clowning, he had proved himself, in the words of Judge Bigot, "a truly great young conductor...
