College administrators followed a traditional--and reprehensible--path by railroading the new "kiosk rule" through the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL) in an "emergency" meeting during reading period last spring. The kiosks greeted students as a fait accompli this fall, and despite objections by many undergraduate organizations, administrators have given every indication they will enforce the rule through warnings, fines and, ultimately, revocation of official privileges from disobedient organizations...
...deficit it can figure on running in the new fiscal year. This election year, the Democrats, who control both houses of Congress, could not bring themselves to admit that recession and inflation would push the balanced budget, which they had agreed on proudly in the spring, into deficit by at least $40 billion. Republicans obviously would not help them out of their dilemma.

At the same time, economic output dropped at a 9.6% annual rate, its steepest quarterly slump on record. Then in the summer, the Fed reversed course and began frantically pumping up the money stock. In the past three months, money growth has exploded at a 16.8% annual pace, and interest...
...product or sometimes a new logo, for company anniversaries or as part of a sales campaign." Philip Morris ordered up a tie with a percentage sign on it, as the symbol of a sales convention that had the theme "It's all a percentage game." Nestlé last spring commissioned a tie in honor of the 50th birthday of the chocolate-chip cookie. Anheuser-Busch has no fewer than a dozen ties celebrating the firm's various brands of beer...
