...mean by this that the review should be in the nature of a pre-digested meal: It is this type of review to which the Crimson has so rightfully objected in its campaign against the Tutoring Schools. As a matter of fact the Union Committee has perhaps unconsciously sought to avoid this procedure by scheduling the review only thirty-six hours before the examination. It is perfectly apparent that any attempt to do the work of a half year of Music 1 in thirty-six hours would be worse than hopeless...
...review for Music 1 was merely an attempt to organize material and to point out salient facts about each period in the history of music. This type of review Music 1 was proud to predicate on three important factors: first, that its students were genuinely interested in the course; second, that the instructors had made the subject seem so alive that the students were drawn automatically toward doing the listening; and third, that it would be impossible to pass the type of examination given in Music 1 without having done the listening...

Wiry, fast-talking Narrator Sam Pierce offers the goods to the radio audience, tells how to reach the would-be seller. One-third of the odds & ends offered are bought...
...emotional position. But a great deal of current discussion assumes that "emotional involvement" is confined to a pro-Ally position. It is not true that the other position may represent "emotional involvement"? I offer in evidence Dr. Zipf's letter, using phrases such as "Benedict Arnolds," "despicable type of disloyalty," "educated fool," "copperheads," "hypocritical agitation under cover of the academic gown" (cf. the full text of his letter in the "Herald"). The unreflective emotional content of a verbal communication is often directly proportional to the number of such phrases and adjectives. Any appeal to reason is hindered by their...
